'The more options people have, the more lives will be saved'

She said: “A lot of people don’t go for cervical screenings because they are scared. Some, like sexual assault survivors, will be even more intimidated because the screenings can be quite invasive. I’ve never been for a screening personally and I pay for the home testing kits. I try to do one every two years, which is a lot of money when they are £50 each.”

Eden Hughes, who works at St James' Hospital, launched the petition for the kits to be rolled out nationwide. Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe. For Eden’s petition to get a response from the government, she will need 10,000 signatures. It would need 100,000 supporters to be considered for a debate. She added:"In areas where free testing kits are available, the feedback has been phenomenal. It's really essential that they are rolled out because the more options people have to test for the virus, the more lives will be saved.”
