Fund cervical cancer screening from the age of 18

Closed 108 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to provide funding so that all women can access cervical cancer screening from the age of 18.
I believe this could make a difference to all women, by enabling early detection of cell changes that could turn into cancer.

I’ve had symptoms of cervical cancer for two years. This has been a difficult journey for me, and I am still in the process of my diagnoses. If screening had been available when I was 18, I believe this would have been a much easier process for me. I am creating this petition for young women in the same situation as me; I don’t want anyone else to experience what I’m going through.
