NHS patients can't opt out of Palantir's data platform – but their hospital can
NHS patients in England cannot opt out of Palantir's NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP) data processing, but individual NHS trusts can choose to avoid using it. Palantir's role in the FDP has faced scrutiny over data access risks and political pressure to end its involvement, with the government deciding this year whether to extend its contract beyond 2027.
