Rollout of Palantir’s NHS technology is NOT going to plan!

Tuesday, 3 June 2025 — Just Treatment

I’m getting in touch with an important update on the controversial NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP) run by pro-Trump US spy tech company Palantir.

To recap, last summer Health Secretary Wes Streeting sought to speed up the rollout of Palantir’s technology by demanding that all NHS Trusts in England adopt it. We feared that this marked the end of the road for our fight to get Palantir away from NHS patients’ health data.

BUT, it turns out that the rollout of the FDP is NOT going to plan!

Across England, multiple NHS trusts have raised concerns and are resisting the rollout of the FDP. Their reluctance reflects real anxiety about the ethics of a company like Palantir working within our NHS, as well as fears that this platform could lead to reduced capabilities, loss of local control, and eventual commercialisation of NHS data services.

To help shed light on what’s happening, some of our campaign partners have launched a new tool that tracks how each Trust is responding to the FDP rollout – information we can use to demand transparency and pressure for alternative, public-led solutions. If you live in England, look up your local NHS Trust now!

As we’ve been saying for years, Palantir’s involvement in the FDP raises huge questions about privacy, accountability, and the future of NHS data. Palantir is a US-based tech firm with deep ties to military and intelligence agencies. Their top execs are amongst Donald Trump’s closest allies

It built its reputation on surveillance and military technology—not public service or healthcare. And right now it’s actively resourcing mass violence and war crimes committed against Palestinians by the Israeli state.

We cannot allow NHS data to become a profit-making asset for a deadly private tech giant. And although the government is trying to impose Palantir upon the NHS, patients and NHS staff across the country are resisting.

We will continue to do all we can to make the rollout of Palantir’s technology unworkable. We’re working closely with NHS workers resisting the rollout, and consulting with allied legal experts to find avenues that can shut it down and protect patients’ data.

But we are a small organisation taking on another multibillion dollar company threatening our NHS. So if you think that this work matters, please help by making a donation today!
