NHS: Palantir
(asked on 18th May 2026) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps are required under the Palantir Federated Data Platform contract to end the contract.
The NHS Federated Data Platform (NHS FDP) safely connects information from different systems across the National Health Service into a single, secure environment. This allows staff to co-ordinate care to improve outcomes for patients.
To date, 24 integrated care board clusters and 168 NHS trusts have signed up to the NHS FDP, including York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. NHS England publishes quarterly information on the benefits realised from the NHS FDP at the following link:
The NHS FDP has allowed trusts to make better use of their operating theatres, reduce waiting times for diagnoses, including for cancer, and supported trusts to discharge people more quickly from hospital.
The NHS FDP and Associated Services contract contains clear terms and processes associated with Exit Management, as set out in Schedule 8.5 of the contract. The technical process relating to contract term and extension is set out in the published version of the contract which is available at the following link:
