Palantir Technologies, the US spy-tech company, currently in the spotlight for helping ICE in the US to target people for deportation, is infiltrating the NHS.
The NHS signed a contract with Palantir in 2023 to provide a Federated Data Platform – that is the technology to unify patient records from multiple places across the NHS. Centralizing and linking patient data is an important step for the NHS, but Palantir is not the company to do it. It’s not too late to try and stop it.
Many health trusts and hospitals around the country are saying they will not use it because it is not as good as other systems. And many have yet to start using it. That is what is happening in our area, according to research from Just Treatment and The Good Law Project.

Then use this great tool from The Good Law Project to send letters to our local hospitals and trusts and Wes Streeting, to tell them to stop using Palantir now.
