NHS England removes claim that 137 trusts use Palantir tech

NHS England previously published a list claiming that 137 hospital trusts were live and realising benefits from Palantir's AI-powered federated data platform. However, the list was removed after it was revealed that 29 of those trusts were either not live or not using the technology's applications. The controversy comes as ministers consider extending Palantir's £330m contract to 2029. Campaigners, doctors' unions, and MPs have frequently criticized the deal, arguing that the effectiveness of the data system has been overstated and that such claims threaten public trust in the health service.
