We believe that patients should have the right to decide how our health data is managed and used - but right now that right is under threat.

The previous Conservative government awarded a £330m contract to US spy tech company Palantir to run a health database they are calling the 'Federated Data Platform' (FDP). Palantir - a Trump-backed company with a track record in military technology, surveillance and human rights abuses - is a completely inappropriate partner for our NHS.

Yet rather than halting and rethinking these plans, the new Labour government has instead doubled down and pressured NHS Trusts to commit to the rollout of the FDP, despite widespread concerns from health workers, patients and data rights campaigners:

🚨 There is no proper consent mechanism, and no guarantees that our data won’t be used for commercial purposes
🚨 The functionality of Palantir’s platform has been criticised by the NHS staff who are being asked to use it, with numerous Trusts saying that existing technologies are better
🚨 Palantir is a dangerous company - complicit in war crimes and human rights abuses - that shouldn’t be anywhere near our NHS
🚨 The FDP will lock us into a corporate monopoly controlled data system which makes us dependent on one company

After years of campaigning against Palantir, momentum is now growing to get their NHS contract scrapped before it is up for renewal in early 2027.

We already forced the government to back down on dodgy plans for a GP data grab in 2021. It's vital that they learn from these mistakes by respecting patients' choice and acting in the interests of health, not corporate profits. Join the campaign to help us hold them to account!
