What the petition asks

I would like the government to lower the age for cervical smear tests to conducted on women. These to be conducted ones a women becomes sexually active.

I am 20 years old and have signs of cervical cancer which If were left another 5 years when my first smear test would of been may of then been untreatable. The age needs to be lowered as women get this form of cancer at any age and more needs to be done to prevent it.
