Palantir AI tech unused or little used by 29 NHS trusts said to be benefiting from it
A Guardian exclusive finds that 29 hospital trusts publicly listed by NHS England as "realising benefits" from Palantir's £330m federated data platform say the system is not live or that they use none of its apps, a gap surfaced through more than 100 freedom of information requests obtained by the campaign group Medact. NHS England, which claims 117,539 additional operations and says nearly 140 trusts report benefits, faces calls from MPs and campaigners to axe the contract, and the Office for Statistics Regulation is investigating and taking the benefits claim into casework.
