We’re calling on the government to listen to parliamentary committees, NHS workers and the public, and enact the contract’s break clause to kick Palantir out of our health service once and for all 👇 goodlaw.social/sdxb
Now, the full extent of this corporate infiltration has been laid bare. The official figures released by NHS England confirm that, as of May 28 2026, a total of 145 contractors from Palantir UK and an additional 87 third-party sub-contractors have been formally onboarded to the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP) programme. To facilitate this, all these private operatives have been issued approved @nhs.net email accounts to conduct their work under the instruction of the NHS.
