Give all men aged 50 or over the right to have a PSA test from their GP
Rejected

What the petition asks
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men. 1 in 8 will be diagnosed and 1 man dies every 45 minutes in the UK. The PSA test is the best early indicator currently available. As the test is not 100% effective many GP's will not provide this test when requested by their patients.
