HC Deb 20 March 1980 vol 981 cc278-9W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, pursuant to his reply, Official Report, 7 March, columns 356–57, he will follow up his support for the mobile artery and vein imaging system as a lifesaving facility to detect arterial disease by visiting Guy's hospital to look at the work being carried out on "MAVIS".

Dr. Vaughan

Enquiries made by the Department have failed to establish the use of a MAVIS at Guy's hospital. Officials in the Department of Health and Social Security are in close contact with other hospitals where MAVIS is being evaluated.
