UK statistics regulator reviews government data claims justifying NHS Palantir contract
A campaign group has written to the UK health minister demanding clarification on data used by the government to justify its £330 million investment in Palantir's Federated Data Platform (FDP) for NHS England. The UK statistics regulator is reportedly assessing how the government is using data to support its claims about the platform's benefits. This follows an investigation challenging NHS England's assertion that 139 trusts were using the FDP as of June, with campaigners arguing that ministers repeated claims about the platform despite an admission that the data does not prove cause and effect.
