The NHS is using a US surveillance tech company owned by a billionaire Trump donor to process hundreds of datasets – some of which are being shared with private sector firms.
Department of Health and Social Care data shows NHS England has created more than 300 different purposes for processing information in its “Covid-19 datastore”, which runs on a platform created by Palantir.
Palantir, which has built software to support drone strikes and immigration raids, is also tipped to win a £480m deal this year to build a single database that will eventually hold all the data in the NHS.
