Fund routine prostate cancer screening tests for all men over 40

What the petition asks
Too many men find out they have prostate cancer too late. A simple PSA blood test can help identify prostate cancer, and we want the Government to provide funding to make this available to all men over 40, in the same way cervical screenings are available to women over 25.
Funding routine screening for prostate cancer should help identify cases of prostate cancer earlier, enabling more effective treatment, and hopefully saving lives.
