Ministers are exploring triggering the break clause in Palantir's NHS contract after a public backlash. Campaign groups such as Foxglove and 38 Degrees and several MPs accuse Palantir of inappropriate access to NHS patient records. They also highlight Palantir's work with US immigration agency ICE and the Israeli military. Ministers now face pressure to end the contract and secure deletion or return of data, a decision that will affect patient privacy and public trust in NHS data sharing.
