Stop cervical screening being changed to every 5 years

Petition Details

Cervical screening needs to remain at every 3 years and not be changed to 5 yearly

Additional Information

To save women’s lives. Changing the cervical screening to every 5 years from every 3 years is absolutely unacceptable. If this had been the case 10 years ago I may not be here now. I have always gone to my cervical screenings on time (3 yearly) one year I got the all clear I went back again 3 years later for another smear test which resulted in cells needing to be removed as they was precancerous. If that had not been found for another 2 years it likely would have turned into cancer
