The motion

That the Parliament supports NHS Lanarkshire for calling on all women to take part in a smear test as part of Cervical Screening Awareness Week; understands that women aged between 25 and 64 will receive a screening invite, but less than 80% of them will take up the offer in Lanarkshire; recognises that Cervical Cancer Screening Week was between 20 and 26 June 2022 and was organised by the Charity, Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, and notes that the week aims to reduce confusion about HPV and raise awareness of the importance of cervical screening.
