Each row is one party. The bar shows how its MPs voted relative to a neutral midpoint — to the right = on-side with the majority position, to the left = opposed. The percentage figure is the share of that party’s MPs who took the same side: higher = more whip-disciplined, closer to 50% = a freer vote.

| Date | Motion | Aye | No | Carried |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 Jan 2026 | Draft Medical Devices (Fees Amendment) Regulations 2026 Aye: Support the new annual fee structure to fund stronger post-market surveillance of medical devices, accepting a phased approach to cost recovery as a reasonable way to improve patient safety regulation. · No: Oppose the fee increase as premature and potentially burdensome on businesses, given fees were already raised in mid-2025 with assurances they would cover costs until 2027, and question the MHRA's cost management. | 294 | 108 | Yes |
| 27 Jan 2026 | Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill: Amendment 2 Aye: Support requiring Parliament to actively approve any future changes to medical training prioritisation rules, strengthening scrutiny of ministerial decisions affecting doctors' careers and NHS workforce planning. · No: Oppose the amendment, preferring the Bill as drafted with the negative procedure, allowing the government to adjust prioritisation rules more quickly without a full parliamentary vote each time. | 63 | 311 | No |
| 27 Jan 2026 | Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill: Amendment 9 Aye: Support extending NHS training prioritisation to British citizens regardless of where they completed their medical degree, arguing that nationality should be a key criterion alongside UK training. · No: Oppose the amendment, arguing that prioritisation should be tied to UK training and NHS experience rather than citizenship alone, to ensure medical graduates have relevant knowledge of NHS systems and UK patient needs — and that adding citizenship as a criterion could undermine the Bill's core purpose. | 93 | 379 | No |
| 27 Jan 2026 | Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill: Amendment 1 Aye: Support extending NHS training place prioritisation to British citizens regardless of where they completed their medical degree, arguing the Bill as drafted leaves some British citizens unprotected. · No: Oppose broadening the prioritisation category to include overseas-trained British citizens, arguing it would undermine the Bill's core purpose of tackling workforce bottlenecks by prioritising UK-trained graduates. | 90 | 311 | No |
| 23 Apr 2025 | Opposition Day: Hospitals Aye: Support the opposition's motion criticising the government's handling of hospitals and NHS waiting times · No: Reject the opposition's motion, defending the government's record and approach to NHS hospital services | 79 | 310 | No |

Pending — issue-to-service mapping
Mapping each Westminster issue to the equivalent council service bucket (so “Health” → the matching service line on council finance, with the ranked-spend table this section wants) is its own taxonomy job. Council service spend lives on the council pages today; cross-cut by issue here in a follow-on pass.
