Protests target Palantir's NHS data contract
Original: Protests target Palantir's NHS contract
Demonstrators have been protesting Palantir's contract with England's National Health Service, which gives the US data analytics firm a role in centralising NHS patient data. Critics, including privacy campaigners and some health workers, argue the deal risks patient confidentiality and privatising health records. Supporters say the platform improves data use across the health service. The contract, won in 2023, remains politically contested.
Why now: Public and campaigner concern over patient data privacy and the role of a private US firm in the NHS is resurfacing.
