Rejected petition Lower the age of mammograms to 30

Rejected on 25 January 2023

I'd like parliament to lower the age of mammograms for everyone, let people have mammograms from the age of 30.

I'd like this to happen as I know a lot of people who have battled breast cancer, that could have been diagnosed sooner if mammograms were available at a younger age. We have smear tests starting at a lot younger age, and this could help others get diagnosed at an earlier point and make people feel more at ease knowing we have the checks we need. Please sign and help this happen. We all need to be careful and look for signs!! Let's raise some awareness!!
