Asked by Martin WrigleyLiberal DemocratDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 21 July 2025UIN 67614

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has had deductions with Palantir Technologies Ltd on (a) profit-sharing arrangements and (b) access to derivative data linked to NHS research outputs.

Answered by Karin Smyth

NHS England has entered into a contract with Palantir, the NHS Federated Data Platform Associated Services (FDP-AS) contract, which is available at the following link:

https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0f8a65b5-23a2-4294-abb1-a7fd8efb3ad0

The FDP-AS Agreement does not include provision for profit sharing arrangements and Palantir does not have access or rights to any National Health Service data under the FDP-AS, beyond those as required to perform its function as a data processor under instruction by the NHS.
