Palantir: Contracts

Asked by Martin WrigleyLiberal DemocratDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 22 July 2025UIN 67613

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has received representations from (a) Palantir Technologies Ltd and (b) its subsidiaries on combining data functions under a single NHS data contract.

Answered by Karin Smyth

My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care met with representatives of Palantir on 4 June 2025. The meeting was to discuss the importance of the rollout of the Federated Data Platform, including progress towards having all trusts onboarded. The meeting did not discuss combining data functions under a single National Health Service data contract, and the Department has not received representation from Palantir or its subsidiaries on that topic.
