Hmm, having dealt with the legacy of the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation a few years ago, things aren't all as rosy as they seem.
Markyboy's comments about young women's awareness and take up rates of cervical smears are the most positive thing to come out of it, firstly for the sudden increase in young women presenting to have tests done (where previously there'd been a barrier, be it squeemishness, or lack of awareness) and secondly there's some charity* campaigning to get the NHS to lower the age criteria for scans to women of an earlier age (20s rather than a entry point of 25).
Whether you agree with a charity piggybacking on the goody is a different matter.
