For those concerned about Palantir's access to NHS patients' data the news that the soon to be closed NHS England is about to grant Palantir & its associated contractors 'unlimited access' to patient data in the NHS Federated Data Platform which includes the anonymisation function.... suggesting that Peter Thiel's firm will have the ability to access patient information prior to it being made anonymous.

More evidence that patient data privacy is not a priority at NHS-E

@ChrisMayLA6 The one crumb of comfort I take is that, from personal experience of being continuously disappointed by the poor and inconsistent records exposed by the “NHS App”, the data is far less useful than it appears. I’ve always thought it ironic that the designers overspecified log in security (to the point of unusability sometimes) as the gateway to data that is so poor, full of holes and inconsistent. I mean I know my medical history and fail to find it there. It’s a mess.

Hardly surprising: NHS computer systems within the same hospital that can talk to each other might help.

This was probably the rationale behind the process that eventually ended up as hand the whole lot over to Nazis.
