Concerns mount over NHS software supplier’s links with ICECredit: Shutterstock.comConcerns are mounting over links between NHS federated data platform (FDP) supplier Palantir and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as tensions rise in the US. US firm Palantir signed a £330m contract in 2023 to provide the FDP, which will be reviewed by NHS England in 2027. The company also provides advanced data analytics software used by government agencies, intelligence, and law enforcement for surveillance, predictive policing, and data integration. A spokesperson for Rotherham NHS FT told Digital Health News that concerns had been “responded to directly” by the trust. Meanwhile, some NHS trusts have opted not to use the FDP because they have their own local data tools in place.
