Palentir and the NHS

The UK had a troubled relationship with Palantir before the contract was awarded, with privacy fears and worries over Palantir's relationship with the US government. Since its adoption, some care boards have delayed their implementations due to an unwillingness to use the system, and the British Medical Association has called for doctors to stop using it over Palantir's recent work with ICE on its deportation efforts.

@Wen not the UK. It was only the English NHS that signed up for it.

@peterbrown Of coursse, but Palentir appear to have fingers in the number of areas where power is reserved by Westminster.

@peterbrown I thought it fair to quite the article - it does make clear than for the NHS, Palentir is strictly and English operation.

@When yes I was alarmed and disappointed to see them getting involved in the FCA.

My motivation in pointing up the difference was that nobody realises when the Scottish government performs better than Westminster because the media simply don’t report it.
