HC Deb 18 May 1978 vol 950 c280W
Mrs. Wise

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will indicate his support for development work on a defibrillation unit which can be carried in ambulances to reduce the mortality rate during the transit of heart attack victims, bearing in mind that this is one of the proposals of the Lucas Aerospace workers in their corporate plan.

Mr. Moyle

Defibrillators are used already in some ambulances but only in a few areas. I have no information concerning the proposed manufacture of such machines by Lucas Aerospace.
