Rejected petition Lower the Breast screening age to 18

Rejected on 16 September 2021

I want the age of breast screening to be lowered since doing this petition on change. I have received over 500 supporters. The age is getting younger.

I have had messages of young people who have had breast cancer and they have all been below the age of 50. We have to start taking a step back and looking at the age range. Something needs to change.

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
