Abolish the plan to increase smear testing to every 5 years instead of every 3

Petition Details

Abolish the plan to increase smear testing to every 5 years instead of every 3. This gap should actually be reduced instead of increased to ensure women are being diagnosed and treated before it’s too late.

Additional Information

Women’s health is so badly neglected and this is just another cost cutting exercise that further endangers the lives of women. This should not be allowed to happen. The age of testing and gap between testing needs to be reduced immediately!
