Women have been urged not to panic
In June 2021 it emerged around 13,000 women had been incorrectly removed from the national cervical screening programme after having hysterectomies.Now a small"audit" is taking place to invite the women who were missed to have the examination within the next 12 months.She said:"This audit is part of a wider piece of work ensuring that everyone eligible for cervical screening is being regularly invited.
Women aged 25-64 are offered smear tests checking for human papillomavirus which is the main cause of cervical cancer. But in some cases, part or all of the cervix can be removed and doctors advise these women should still attend cervical screenings. In a letter from Dr Naureen Ahmad, the Scottish Government's deputy director of the general practice policy division, said the women will be invited to attend screening appointments over the next 12 months while a wider audit of a further 150,000 records takes place.
