NHS CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING PROGRAMME

Early day motion 195, tabled 9 December 2008 by Fraser Kemp (Labour). Signed by 45 members.

That this House believes that the NHS Cervical Cancer 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 old; and considers that the programme should examine the figures for cervical cancer incidences in women under 25 years old and offer routine cervical screening to women under 25 years old if such figures could be reduced by routine screening.

Signatures by party: Labour 28, Conservative 4, DUP 4, Liberal Democrat 4, Independent 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2.
