Rejected petition Lower the age of Cervical Screenings

The current age for a cervical screening (smear test) is 25. I think this should be lowered to 16 due to many women this age and older have symptoms & are unable to get a smear test due to there age.

More details

If the age is lowered it will help put many women’s minds at ease, and potentially save a lot of lives.
