Fund at home smear test kits for females when requested.

Closed 154 signatures

What the petition asks

Outside routine screening, currently you cannot request an at home smear test kit on the NHS. There are reports of this becoming available on the NHS but we think the Government should provide funding so that females can request a yearly test if they want it.
In our view having to go into a doctor's surgery can be uncomfortable for anyone but being able to do a test at home in the comfort of your own house means there'll be a great uptake of the smear test.
