What the petition asks
Women age 25-60 deserve to have regularly smear tests to help prevent cervical cancer.
Cervical screening should be offered free through the NHS once a year.
Unfortunately with tests every 3 years too many people are dying. More regular testing could help prevent this.
It’s about every woman’s health! We can save our lives by testing every year instead of every 3 years.
99.8% of all cases of cervical cancer in the UK are linked to the HPV infection.
