Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Kamall on 2 August 2022 (HL1602), whether they will (1) publish, or (2) place in the Library of the House, a copy of the form(s) for NHS England staff to request access to data in Palantir Foundry software and any associated training materials about making such requests.

There are 4 steps to register access to the NHS National Data Platform (Foundry).

1. Register for an Okta account - Okta is a cloud-based identity management service.

2. Submit a Foundry Access Request Form – used to record contact details, purpose of the request, required products/tools, and information governance compliance.

3. Download and register two factor authentication - to ensure that only the applicant can use the account. It will also ensure the security of the data within the Foundry platform.

4. Launch the Foundry platform

A copy is attached of the Foundry System Access Form.
