417 of 568 pages of the NHS Palantir contract were blanked out when The Good Law Project tried to examine them. 417.
And then the lawyers got involved.

The Good Law Project is funded solely by donation.
A great *mothers* day gift in my mind. What better way to say you care than help fund the fight to deny them free at the point of need, publically funded health care.

@Silversnapples Taking the piss of the public at a vast scale.

All government contracts should be transparent?

The much cited commercial sensitivity should apply to business to business transactions, not governments.

So if they were transparent, would it really damage contract negotiation?

Maybe I am foolhardy here. Not too sure.

@NicelyManifest precedents set by the Tory party for fast track contracts. Theres been too much misuse of protocols because they havent been written into law. Its time government was. Transparency should be legal unless it damages national security or private citzens personal information in my opinion.

@Silversnapples Agreed. Redactions just look so blatantly like 'something to hide' as they are clearly much more than critical parts of commercial agreements.

Besides, government is not involved in commerce same I am not when I contract a builder to work on my house. It is not commerce to commerce.

If they get a good deal is that something they need to hide?
