Senior NHS Staff Criticize Palantir's Patient Data Contract as Damaging Trust
Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
Senior NHS staff have told Novara Media that Palantir, a US spytech firm with contracts providing military technology to Israel and surveillance tools to ICE, is an "evil" company whose involvement in the NHS is damaging patient trust. Palantir was contracted in 2023 to build and operate the federated data platform (FDP) for NHS England, which centralizes sensitive patient data. Health workers argue the contract is ethically indefensible and that the platform locks the NHS in "by design."
