Lower the age to 18 for breast screening
From a mother in her thirties who I have seen in the media all I seem to hear is the age of people being diagnosed for breast cancer is younger than the age that the screening process takes place. I have seen the affects it has on people emotionally and physically.
I want the government or parliament to do something as I feel we all need to come together as this isn’t going to go away how many more people have to go undiagnosed.. or rely on there own examinations.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about when to offer breast screening are a matter for the NHS, not the Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to fund routine breast screening from the age of 18, if that's something you would like to happen.
