Closed Amend guidelines: Smear tests for all sexually active females across UK.

Closed on

Women under 25 in Britain (excluding Scotland) are subjected to guidelines which limited their ability to receive smear tests at first request despite showing symptoms

A petition on this issue in 2015 reached over 300,000 signature, but those we elected to voice our opinions denied our request.

You can read the governments response to the petition of 2015 here: https://petition.parliament.uk/archived/petitions/62385

We may only account for 2% of 2011's cervical cancer diagnosis, but our health matter just as much as those 25+ females.

We should not have to fight for our right to tests which can save women. We should aid in the prevention of invasive cervical cancer before our sisters & friends have to make the decision between a Hysterectomy or a Cone Biopsy.
