Open Fund extension of NHS cervical screening to people aged over 65

Created by andrea laidlaw
Closes on

We do not think smear tests should be stopped after the age of 65. Cervical cancer can develop in people over 65. We are concerned that without regular screening, it may not be detected early.

We believe people over 65 should continue to have access to routine cervical screening, to help detect changes that could lead to cervical cancer.
