Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will place in the Library of the House a list of the projects that have been given access to the Palantir Foundry parts of NHS England’s COVID-19 Data Store.

• The Recovery of Critical Services Dashboard supports service recovery planning as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;

• The Early Warning System forecasts COVID-19 patient admissions and types of bed capacity three weeks in advance;

• The Supply Management Capability provides tools to manage the supply and demand of classification resources such as personal protective equipment, ventilation and oxygen equipment and intensive care unit consumables, supporting end-to-end management of these resources;

• The Immunisation and Vaccination Management Capability enables the end-to-end management of the NHS COVID-19 vaccination programme; and

• The Trust Care Coordination Solution provides trusts with functionality and modules to cleanse elective waiting lists and optimise theatre scheduling and capacity.
