A coalition of human rights, patient health and trade union organizations has called on NHS hospitals not to use US company Palantir's software on the Federated Data Platform (FDP)[1][2]. NHS England has signed a contract with a Palantir-led consortium worth up to £330m over seven years to develop software to bring together fragmented data from different health systems[1][2]. The platform is built on Palantira's Foundry software and enables hospitals and integrated care systems to connect operational data stored in separate systems[1][2]. Under the contract, Palantir cannot make commercial use of NHS data, including using it to train AI models, and all data remains under the control of the NHS[3]. The pilot involved 26 trusts with results including better organization of clinics, reduced waiting times and reduced delays in hospital discharges[2]. Critics have raised concerns about the NHS's monopoly lock onto Palantir, centralization and security risks[6].
