Cervical cancer screening rate falls to lowest for at least 21 years The proportion of women attending cervical screening is the lowest for at least 21 years, new figures show.
The statistics show that just 71.4 per cent of women in England are attending screening - the lowest since 1997 - and a fall from 75.7 per cent in 2011.
Experts said difficulties getting GP appointments for a smear test were fuelling the decline.
The figures show screening coverage is higher among older women than younger women. The Daily Telegraph
