:01:00. > :01:08.For me, I am not one that will just sit and dwell,
:01:09. > :01:11.I have got to keep going as much as I can and do what
:01:12. > :01:16.Women aged between the ages of 25 and 49 should get a smear test
:01:17. > :01:21.Early diagnosis is key and could help prevent up to 75%
:01:22. > :01:29.I think some people think, it is not going to affect me or I am
:01:30. > :01:35.People kind of shy away from the screening but it is
:01:36. > :01:40.I think people build it up in their head and actually
:01:41. > :01:44.when you get the appointment booked, turn up and have it done and I think
:01:45. > :01:49.people will walk away and think, actually that wasn't that bad.

:02:57. > :03:01.women it is about embarrassment or worrying it may be painful
:03:02. > :03:04.or interestingly the fear of the results because they think
:03:05. > :03:06.is a test to find cancer rather than prevent cancer.
:03:07. > :03:11.In the older age group we are seeing numbers drop as well now.
:03:12. > :03:17.How do we encourage more women to come forward and get screened?
:03:18. > :03:21.There has to be a focus within each area or constituency to think
:03:22. > :03:24.about their communities and be very targeted in terms of what is going
:03:25. > :03:37.We would like to see a woman be able to be screened at any GP surgery.
:03:38. > :03:41.If there was a surgery near their work they could go
:03:42. > :03:43.there and be screened and have this wonderful life-saving test done
:03:44. > :03:46.and not worry about it for another three or five years depending
