Recent reporting in the Financial Times reveals that “at least half a dozen senior health leaders in England have been linked financially or professionally to US technology company Palantir, whose £330mn contract to build a new NHS data platform is under growing scrutiny.”
Quoted in the article, a representative of No Tech For Tyrants said: “As the benefit claims come under intense scrutiny, these scandalous conflicts of interest only make the FDP contract more untenable. It’s about time the government reined in Palantir’s influence in the NHS.”
NT4T joins Health Workers For a Free Palestine and many other groups in calling on ministers to use a contractual break clause next spring to end end Palantir’s £330mn NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP) contract.
