Make cervical screenings available for under 25's
Many young women are losing there lives because the age of cervical screening starts at 25.
Women younger than 25 are going to the doctors with symptoms of cervical cancer as are being refused cervical screenings because of the law. By the time they finally get a diagnosis it's to late.
Even if the age won't be lowered surely all women, no matter what age, showing symptoms of cervical cancer should be allowed a smear test. This is why I have started this petition. Things need to be changed, women are losing their lives when it can be prevented.
