The campaign, coordinated by 38 Degrees, cites distrust over Palantir's work with the Israeli military and US immigration enforcement. Separately, MedAct reports over 85,000 patient complaints to hospitals, and protests occurred outside Palantir's London office and at the Labour Party conference. NHS England says it will respond under data protection law and that suppliers cannot access data for their own purposes; Palantir says data stays in the UK and cites operational improvements from its software. The £330m, seven-year contract's first term ends early next year, with a break clause decision due from Prime Minister Andy Burnham within months; NHS data leaders and two Commons select committees have urged using the break clause. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why are people filing legal objections against the NHS Federated Data Platform run by Palantir? More than 44,000 people have used article 21 of the UK GDPR, the right to object, to demand NHS England stop processing their health data on the Federated Data Platform. The campaign, coordinated by the group 38 Degrees, cites concerns that Palantir's involvement undermines trust in NHS data confidentiality, partly due to Palantir's work with the Israeli military and US immigration enforcement. _Anyone weighing how vendor reputation shapes trust in data platforms can follow this NHS-Palantir dispute on daily.dev._ ### What is the status of the NHS's contract with Palantir for the Federated Data Platform? Palantir holds the lead role on a £330m, seven-year contract awarded in November 2023, and its first term ends early next year. The government can invoke a break clause or extend the deal; campaign groups say 30 September is the deadline for Palantir to hand over an exit plan, and Prime Minister Andy Burnham must decide within months, with two House of Commons committees urging the break clause be used. _Developers evaluating long-term vendor lock-in risk can track how this contract dispute resolves via daily.dev._ ### What does Palantir claim its NHS Federated Data Platform software has achieved so far? Palantir states that NHS trusts using its software have recorded 117,000 additional operations and a 14.3% cut in discharge delays for long-stay patients. The company also says it handles patient data only on the NHS's instructions and that the data remains within the UK, countering concerns raised by privacy campaigners. _Those assessing vendor claims against real-world outcomes in health data projects can follow updates on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Health minister says mistrust of Palantir is pushing NHS patients to opt out of data sharing](https://daily.dev/posts/health-minister-says-mistrust-of-palantir-is-pushing-nhs-patients-to-opt-out-of-data-sharing-qpnnvehid) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Campaigners claim NHS Palantir data could reach govt depts](https://daily.dev/posts/campaigners-claim-nhs-palantir-data-could-reach-govt-depts-hue4nycgw) · The Register · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Say no to Palantir in the NHS](https://daily.dev/posts/say-no-to-palantir-in-the-nhs-psqdtcytv) · Hacker News · 6 upvotes · 0 comments - [UK reviews its £330M NHS deal with Palantir](https://daily.dev/posts/uk-reviews-its-330m-nhs-deal-with-palantir-81ou2wlqg) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [NHS staff refusing to use FDP over Palantir ethical concerns](https://daily.dev/posts/nhs-staff-refusing-to-use-fdp-over-palantir-ethical-concerns-mcbkj5hbu) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#data-privacy](https://daily.dev/tags/data-privacy), [#healthcare](https://daily.dev/tags/healthcare), [#gdpr](https://daily.dev/tags/gdpr) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/44-000-object-to-palantir-s-nhs-data-platform-the-guardian-reports-pa3gtjpe0) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"44,000 object to Palantir’s NHS data platform, the Guardian reports","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/44-000-object-to-palantir-s-nhs-data-platform-the-guardian-reports-pa3gtjpe0","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/44-000-object-to-palantir-s-nhs-data-platform-the-guardian-reports-pa3gtjpe0"},"datePublished":"2026-09-30T19:58:42.108Z","dateModified":"2026-09-30T19:59:04.629Z","description":"More than 44,000 people have filed legal objections under UK GDPR's right-to-object provision to stop the NHS Federated Data Platform, which runs on Palantir...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/f5e128ceef45a0f5a20dc549b330fe4e?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/f5e128ceef45a0f5a20dc549b330fe4e?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/44-000-object-to-palantir-s-nhs-data-platform-the-guardian-reports-pa3gtjpe0","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"data-privacy,healthcare,gdpr","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"44,000 object to Palantir’s NHS data platform, the Guardian reports"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/44-000-object-to-palantir-s-nhs-data-platform-the-guardian-reports-pa3gtjpe0#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Why are people filing legal objections against the NHS Federated Data Platform run by Palantir?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"More than 44,000 people have used article 21 of the UK GDPR, the right to object, to demand NHS England stop processing their health data on the Federated Data Platform.
