Women in West Dunbartonshire are being urged to attend life saving cervical cancer tests, with the number of people attending routine screening appointments locally some of the lowest in Scotland.
According to the latest figures for the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde health board, which covers West Dunbartonshire, cervical screening attendance is at the lowest level in the country for 25 to 49-year-olds.
Of this age group, less than two thirds (61.4 percent) attended for their smear test, as of March 31 last year, according to Public Health Scotland.
