  The majority of MPs voted not to exclude representatives of private healthcare providers, other than NHS GPs, from being members of NHS decision-making boards including integrated care boards and their committees. 
  
  
  MPs were considering the Health and Care Bill.[1][2][3]
  
  The amendment rejected in this vote was:
  
  :Amendment 78, page 126, line 26, at end insertâ
  
  :â(2A) Representatives of private providers of healthcare services, other than general practitioners who hold a contract for the provision of primary medical services in the area, may not be appointed to NHS decision-making boards, integrated care boards, or any place-based committee or sub-committee of the boards.â
