New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (b) relates to healthcare infrastructure and service delivery.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns affordability of doctors and increasing frontline staff numbers, while the motion concerns a New Healthcare Facilities Programme, which is a capital/infrastructure matter; voting against one specific facilities programme paragraph does not straightforwardly contradict a commitment about staffing levels and affordability without further inference about how the programme relates to those goals.
17 Jul 2024·P.43/2024 — New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (a) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach13-30
Voting Pour delivers this
New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (a) directly relates to developing healthcare facilities bearing on the commitment.
Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The promise concerns affordability of doctors and increasing frontline NHS staff numbers, while the motion concerns a "New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (a)," which relates to capital infrastructure rather than staffing levels or healthcare costs, making the link too indirect to constitute a breach.

Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

12 Dec 2023·P.72/2023 Amd.(30).Amd.(2) — Proposed Government Plan 2024-2027 (P.72/2023): thirtieth amendment (P.72/2023 Amd.(30)) – second amendment. Freeze on Public Health Staff Appointments — Pour, voted against, not counted as a breach49-0
Voting Contre delivers this
Freeze on Public Health Staff Appointments second amendment would restrict frontline staffing; voting Contre advances the promise of more frontline staff.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is to increase frontline staff numbers, and voting Pour on a freeze on public health staff appointments works against that goal, but the motion concerns a freeze broadly on "public health staff" rather than specifying frontline clinical staff versus management, so a member could plausibly support it believing it targeted non-frontline or administrative roles while still pursuing the underlying promise.

Voting Pour delivers this
Raising the share of Social Security contributions to the Health Insurance Fund increases resources for healthcare funding, bearing on healthcare affordability.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to make doctors more affordable is a general directional commitment, and voting against one specific funding mechanism (raising the Health Insurance Fund's share of Social Security contributions by 0.5%) does not straightforwardly contradict it, as the member could oppose this particular fiscal measure while pursuing the goal through other means.

Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

Funding free GP visits for full-time students directly makes healthcare more affordable, aligning squarely with the promise to make healthcare more affordable.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.
