Whether NHS England collects data on avoidable delays in the diagnosis of leukaemia.
Awaiting answer.
Conservative and Unionist Party MP for South Northamptonshire.

A steady, loyalist Conservative who has nonetheless been active on a handful of specific fronts. Bool has not broken with her party on a single vote since entering Parliament in 2024, but her committee work signals where she puts her energy: she sits on both the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee and the Armed Forces Bill Select Committee, and her recent votes reflect both. In June she backed Conservative amendments to require automatic transfers of special educational needs plans when service families are reposted — the government opposed them — and voted against regulations accelerating the phase-out of farm subsidies, arguing farmers face a funding cliff before replacement schemes are ready.
At 73% voting participation, Bool is slightly below the Commons average. Her stance profile is consistent Conservative: strongly pro-business (93%), tough on crime (85%), and firmly opposed to progressive taxation (0% aligned) or workers' rights measures (6%). She deviates from her own party average on climate action (27% versus the Conservative average of 38%) and child welfare (20% versus 30%), though the sample sizes are modest. Economy and health dominate her speeches, with defence and local government close behind.
Her most prominent local coverage involves two campaigns: opposing new parking charges in Brackley town centre — she attended protests, launched a petition, and held public meetings — and calling for childhood diabetes screening, drawing on personal experience to push for NHS reform. She has also advocated for pub tax breaks, citing constituency data in Westminster Hall. Recent local news (90 days) is largely neutral in tone across crime, transport, and community issues. No rebel votes have been recorded.
Sarah Bool is the Conservative MP for South Northamptonshire, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024.
