Abolish cervical screening targets and incentives

Additional Information

Cancer screening should always be an option and entirely a woman's personal choice, but because GP's are given financial incentives to meet an 80% screening target for this type of cancer, this choice is compromised, as many women face great pressure to get screened against their free will.

Cervical cancer is a rare cancer and a disproportionate amount of consultation time is wasted on this topic at the expense of other more common (and possibly fatal) health concerns.

It is unethical for doctors to treat a disease more than any other, because they will be rewarded with a cash bonus for reaching an 80% screening target.

It is also a violation of the our human rights to deny us a choice in screening.
