Petition Action

Lower the age of smear tests to 18!

Additional Information

More than 8 women every day are diagnosed with cervical cancer (figures from 2011), it is the most common cancer in women under the age of 35, so why do we have to be 25 to get a smear test? Please sign this petition if you agree the age should be 18.
