  The majority of MPs voted against requiring the NHS to give specific consideration, particularly related to health, to those who, on an unpaid basis, look after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty or disability.
  
  MPs were considering the Care Bill[1]. The proposed new clause rejected in this vote was:
  
  :(1) In exercising their functions health bodies shallâ
  :(a) promote and safeguard the health and well-being of carers;
  :(b) ensure that effective procedures exist to identify patients who are or are about to become carers;
  :(c) ensure that appropriate systems exist to ensure that carers receive appropriate information and advice; and
  :(d) ensure that systems are in place to ensure that the relevant general medical services are rendered to their patients who are carers.
