NHS CERVICAL SCREENING PROGRAMME

Early day motion 2237, tabled 14 October 2008 by Fraser Kemp (Labour). Signed by 56 members.

That this House believes that the NHS Cervical Screening Programme, which aims to reduce the number of women who develop invasive cervical cancer and the number of women who die from it, should review its current policy of only screening women over the age of 25 years; and considers that the programme should examine the figures for cervical cancer incidences in women under 25 years and offer routine cervical screening to women under 25 years if such figures could be reduced by routine screening.
