Rejected petition Lower the age of cervical smears back to 20

More details

In 2004 the age for cervical screening was raised from 20 to 25, since then too many young girls have been diagnosed with cervical cancer under the age of 25, sadly a lot of them have lost their battle and are no longer with us, a lot of them leaving children to grow up without a mummy. We want the goverment to start protecting our girls and lower the age back to 20.
