Palantir Lobbies UK to Extend NHS Platform to GP Records
Palantir wants the UK to add GP records to the NHS data platform, which currently excludes them, raising consent and trust concerns.
Palantir has pressed the UK government to widen the scope of the NHS federated data platform to include GP records. Those records are currently excluded from the existing contract. The push to incorporate general practice data into the platform’s reach raises immediate questions around consent, purpose limitation and public trust in the national health-data infrastructure.
The proposal, if pursued, would mark a significant expansion of the platform’s remit beyond the boundaries set in the current agreement. No details on timing, cost or technical implementation were provided.
