Closed petition Fund cervical smear check for all 6 months after giving birth/pregnancy

Fund a mandatory offer for anyone who has had a baby/pregnancy (including after miscarriage) no matter the age, to have a cervical smear check 6 months after giving birth.

More details

We think this could help catch cervical cancer early in young women. Young women are not routinely invited to get a smear test until they are 25, yet some are being diagnosed with it before then. We believe that having a check 6 months after birth can help give the body enough time to heal from child birth first.
