MUMS who need to get a cervical cancer test can now book an hour's free childcare so they can take up their appointment.
Childcare.co.uk has launched the nationwide initiative to encourage more women to attend a test appointment as figures show the take up is at a 20-year low.
So far, more than 500 childcare providers have signed up to offer the free hour of childcare.
Mothers can book a childcare professional who is offering the service at: https://www.childcare.co.uk/news/free-childcare-for-smear-tests
