Professor Aiden McCormick:

Absolutely. We are in a procurement process to get mobile fibre scans to tell people about their disease. We have tried these in drug treatment centres and when we tell patients that we have a machine that will look at their liver and can tell them how much damage has been done to it, they queue up to be tested. Our plan is to go into hostels and drug treatment centres and test the people there.
