Ministers weigh triggering break clause in Palantir NHS contract

techApr 15, 202639

UK health ministers are weighing whether to trigger the break clause in Palantir's £330 million NHS data contract after MPs scheduled a debate on 16 April demanding tighter scrutiny. Campaign groups Foxglove, Good Law Project, and Amnesty International have launched email-your-MP campaigns urging Health Secretary Wes Streeting to block Palantir's software rollout. NHS England plans to use Palantir software to run health records across the service, and Palantir has defended its record on data protection and human rights as ministers consider halting the rollout.
