NI Cervical Screening Programme

More information

The aim of the programme is to reduce the number of women who develop cervical cancer and the number of women who die from it.

It tries to do this by testing as many women as possible, examining the test results and referring the women for further treatment if any early warning signs are present.

All women between the ages of 25 and 64 are currently eligible for a free cervical smear test every three or five years.
