The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he will clarify whether Palantir Technologies holds intellectual property rights, licensing rights, or technical control over the NHS Federated Data Platform Canonical Data Model that could limit the NHS’s ability to use, modify, or reimplement that model independently of that third party.

Answered by Preet Kaur Gill

Palantir Technologies do not hold any intellectual property, licensing rights, or technical control over the NHS Canonical Data Model. The National Health Service retains full ownership and can use, modify, and reimplement the model independently of any supplier.
