Rejected petition Lower the age for smear test for Cervical Cancer

Currently you cannot get a smear test until you are 25 years old, so many young girls are being diagnosed with cervical cancer due to not being able to get a swab. This outcome of this being lowered would mean much less serious cases as they can receive treatment a lot sooner.
