NHS counts Palantir benefits at trusts that say they're not using it
According to health advocacy group Medact, 29 of 137 NHS trusts listed by NHS England as 'realising benefits' from Palantir's Federated Data Platform stated in Freedom of Information responses that they were not actually using the system. The discrepancy raises scrutiny as the government decides in December whether to continue the £330 million contract. Some trusts cited lack of additional functionality over existing systems as reasons for non-adoption.
