  @ MP voted aye to drop the Health and Social Care Bill and to enter cross party talks on reforming NHS commissioning. 
  
  The majority of MPs voted against dropping the Health and Social Care Bill and entering cross party talks on reforming NHS commissioning. 
  
  The text of the rejected motion was:
   
  :That this House 
  :''recalls'' that the Prime Minister made a series of personal pledges on the NHS in the run up to the General Election which were carried over to the Coalition Agreement; 
  :''believes'' it is now clear he has failed to honour three of the headline commitments in the Coalition Agreement; 
  :''notes'' firstly that Treasury figures from July 2011 confirm that NHS spending fell in real terms in 2010-11, contrary to the guarantee that health spending will increase in real terms in each year of the Parliament; 
  :''notes'' secondly recent central approval of changes to hospital services, in breach of a moratorium on such changes; 
  :''notes'' thirdly the Prime Ministerâs continuation, despite widespread opposition, with the Health and Social Care Bill, contrary to the pledge in the Coalition Agreement to stop top-down reorganisations of the NHS; 
  :''believes'' there is mounting evidence that the combination of an unprecedented financial challenge combined with the biggest reorganisation in the history of the NHS is damaging patient care and leading to longer waiting times; 
  :''is concerned'' that huge cuts to adult social care in England will further limit hospitalsâ ability to cope with coming winter pressures; and
  :''calls'' on the Government to listen to GPs and NHS staff, drop the Bill and accept the offer of cross-party talks on reforming NHS commissioning.
