Our Manifestos

Cervical cancer is largely preventable yet we are seeing increased numbers diagnosed along with fewer women accessing cervical screening.

We have laid out our key priorities in a manifesto which outlines our bold ambition to reduce the numbers of women diagnosed over the next five years. We also have manifestos for the upcoming elections in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The manifestos focus on three clear objectives:

1. Improved prevention
2. Increased awareness
3. Greater access to support

For a sustained period of time there has been a downward trend in screening uptake across the UK which is a major concern and one which we must address urgently. In particular we are very concerned about the first and last screening age groups. For women aged 25-29 one in three does not attend and for women aged 60-64 screening uptake is lower than it was in 1997. Additionally, the 55-59 age group has seen a dramatic decrease in screening uptake from a peak of 81.4 per cent in 2002 to 74.8 per cent today, alongside a significant increase in the incidence of cervical cancer. There is an urgent need to turn this around.
