Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
An investigation reveals that nearly a third (30%) of English NHS hospital trusts using Palantir's Federated Data Platform (FDP) tool for scheduling operations are performing fewer operations than before adopting the system. Despite the UK government and Palantir repeatedly claiming the tool increases procedure volumes, they have refused to publish comprehensive data beyond a single benefits page. Of 41 trusts using the FDP module, 13 report decreased operations.
