Policy issue
How parliament voted on Health
Verity has matched 49 recorded divisions to Health, held between 7 March 2023 and 1 April 2026. 4 of them decided whether a bill should proceed or pass. The other 45 were procedural — orders for the production of documents, limits on debate, and motions to put the question.
The question Verity tracks
Should public healthcare funding be increased?
A vote is counted as “Increase health funding” when it matched the direction tagged to that division, and “Maintain current spending” when it went the other way — whichever way the motion itself was worded.
How each party voted
Verity does not publish a party breakdown for Health. Only 4 of the 49 divisions tagged to this issue decided whether a bill should proceed or pass, which is too few to summarise a party's record — and counting the procedural motions instead would measure who held the numbers on the floor, not the issue. Every tagged division is listed below.
