:02:21. > :02:22.is protesting their innocence, they must be guilty.

:02:23. > :02:24.Now it feels like, gosh, there is a whole new phase

:02:58. > :03:01.I had been going for my smears as I should have been,

:03:02. > :03:04.and luckily for me an abnormality was picked up and that turned out

:03:05. > :03:08.So, I think it's so important for other women to go

:03:09. > :03:10.when they are called up, or just to keep an eye

:03:11. > :03:19.I was very lucky. and to make an apartment and go.

:03:48. > :03:52.NHS England says it is particularly worried about the fall in young

:03:53. > :03:56.women getting smears in the last few years because that has been linked
