Closed Offer free cervical screening test once a year to women age 25 to 60

Closed on

Women age 25-60 deserve to have regularly smear tests to help prevent cervical cancer.

Cervical screening should be offered free through the NHS once a year.

Unfortunately with tests every 3 years too many people are dying. More regular testing could help prevent this.

It’s about every woman’s health! We can save our lives by testing every year instead of every 3 years.

99.8% of all cases of cervical cancer in the UK are linked to the HPV infection.
