MPs to debate lowering the age for cervival smear tests following petition by dying mother
MPs will debate lowering the age for women to undergo smear tests following a petition by a cancer sufferer who died last month.

Mother of four Natasha Sale launched a petition calling for the threshold to be lowered from 25 to 18, after she was diagnosed with cervical cancer.

In the petition, she said she believed that that the age for smear tests should be lowered to 18 "to enable all women to detect cell changes and prevent cancer". The Telegraph
