Understanding why women aged 50 and are over aren't going for cervical and breast screenings. Tell us your experiences.

If you are aged between 50 and 65 and don't go for breast or cervical (smear tests) screening, would you be prepared to talk about why this is?  Everyone taking part will receive a £20 voucher.

What do we want to ask you about? 
NHS England is concerned that the number of women over 50 years old going to their screening appointments is at a 17-year low.  It is really want to understand the range of reasons why women aren't taking up this important health check, and what might encourage them to go.
