I would like mandatory letters to be sent out to men for their prostate checks

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I run a pub and started a scheme that if men went for a prostate check they got a free pint because of this they started going. One of my customers has found out he has acute/advanced prostate where as if he had been tested 3 years ago he could have been treated then but he didn't know.

If it wasn't for our scheme he wouldn't have been for the test so now it will cost the NHS a lot more money to treat him so surely it makes sense to catch it early and so cheaper to treat and what's the cost of a simple letter being sent out telling them they're test is due.
