To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of Palantir's involvement on the NHS model of being free at the point of use.
Answer
Karin SmythThe provision by Palantir Industries of the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP) has no impact on National Health Service care being free at the point of use.
Palantir is a technology supplier providing the underlying technology that supports the FDP. They do not influence NHS policy, funding models, or decisions about access to care. Their role is limited to delivering technical services under the direction and control of the NHS.
