Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many NHS staff have declined to work on the Federated Data Platform due to concerns about the role of Palantir in the project.

The NHS Federated Data Platform (NHS FDP) safely connects information across the National Health Service into a single secure environment to allow staff to better co-ordinate care, through managing theatre time better, or improving the speed of a cancer diagnosis, or allowing the quicker discharge of a patient from hospital.

To date, 24 integrated care board clusters and 168 NHS trusts have signed up to the NHS FDP.

Information on how many NHS staff have declined to work on the NHS FDP is not collected centrally.
