t, Richard Winder, deputy director of the NHS Cancer Screening Programs, says: "The NHS Cervical Screening Program is internationally recognized as one of the best in the world, saving 4,500 lives a year.

"The program's policy to screen women from the age of 25 is based on robust, independent research by scientists at Cancer Research UK.

"The program is always alert to new evidence and information when it becomes available and seriously considers any studies which could further improve the service."

It might be of interest though to note that in 2002, five women aged between 15 and 24 in England died from cervical cancer, and 26 cases were registered, according to the program itself.
