An investigation by the Guardian, based on over 100 freedom of information requests, found discrepancies between NHS England's claims and reality. The agency listed 29 hospital trusts as actively using Palantir's data platform, but when contacted directly, those trusts stated the system was not live or they were not using its applications. This raises questions about reporting accuracy and the actual adoption of the controversial data analytics tool in the NHS.

  • NHS England claims 29 trusts benefit from Palantir, but FOI requests contradict this
