NHS England rapped over inaccurate Palantir patient data disclosure
NHS England admitted an error in its Data Protection Impact Assessment by failing to disclose that Palantir staff could access identifiable patient data through its Federated Data Platform. The US tech firm, which holds a £330 million contract, was granted access to the platform's National Data Integration Tenant, a detail not accurately reflected in the original assessment. The National Data Guardian highlighted concerns about transparency and public trust in the NHS's data governance.
