Allow women to have smear tests from 18 if they choose
Lower the age limit from 25 to 18 for smear tests.
So many young girls/ women have problems, some have died before having a smear test.
Starting this at 18 and allowing women to have a choice to have this done earlier if they feel they have issues will give more women a chance to get ahead of health issues in that area.
Being told a a smear would not be looked at unless you are 25 and therefore they refuse to do them. This could potentially save womens lives.
