The mother of a 19-year-old model who died of cervical cancer after doctors failed to allow her a smear test has questioned why her daughter was refused the simple examination.
The NHS scrapped routine smears for under-25s in 2003 over concerns they could do more harm than good.
Note that that says 'routine', not "There's a problem but you shouldn't use this as a diagnostic tool", yet she could not get one.
Amazing, isn't it?
