GLASGOW’S cervical screening attendance has fallen behind other countries in the UK.

Data has revealed that our city is not only one of the lowest attended areas in Scotland but is also failing to meet numbers elsewhere.

As previously revealed in the Glasgow Times as part of the Don’t Fear the Smear campaign, health board figures revealed only 65% of eligible people – which is typically those aged 25 to 64 – took up their routine smear test offer up to March 2021, the most recently available data.

However, in the same period 70.2% of women and people with cervixes attended throughout the whole of England.
