Cervical Screening Awareness Week

Lodged by Miles Briggs (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 40 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes the week commencing 20 June 2022 is Cervical Screening Awareness Week; recognises that cervical screening can save lives and help prevent cervical cancer; understands that, currently, almost one in three people do not take up their screening appointment when invited; further understands that the cervical screening procedure is not easy for everyone and that barriers can include pain, embarrassment, and experience of trauma; believes that cervical screening should be accessible for everyone who is eligible; highlights that Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust provides information, tips, and support for anyone who needs them, and calls for all Members of the Scottish Parliament to support what it sees as this important week.
