Rejected petition Lower the age of smear tests to 16

More details

Iv Started this petition as i believe the smear test age needs to be lowered.Alot of young women get turned away from having a smear because they are 'to young'
These tests should be availiable from 16 yrs old and done yearly instead of every 3 yrs.
We need to act now so that if there
Are any health issues they are addressed before its to late.
Thank you
