In June Foxglove’s FOI, covered by the FT www.ft.com/content/a3e9... revealed all wasn't as it seemed with Palantir's and the NHS's stats about the performance of Palantir's Federated Data Platform. - Full FOI www.foxglove.org.uk/wp-content/u... - Blog summary www.foxglove.org.uk/2026/06/17/n...

How we revealed NHS England claims about Palantir's FDP delivering benefit for the NHS are dubious, cherry-picked and should come with a serious health warning

NHS England cannot, and should not, say the data they have made available proves hospitals delivered more operations because of Palantir.

We - & others - raised these with the UK stats watchdog, who today said that figures about the platform must be "clear" and "accurate." osr.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/news/nhs-eng...

Amazing work from @tmsqrll.bsky.social @dncampbell.bsky.social & team @foxglovelegal.bsky.social this week.

Foxglove Legal@foxglovelegal.bsky.social · last mo.

NHS admits the 'Uptake and Benefits' page for the Federated Data Platform... does not in fact prove Palantir's kit has delivered any benefits to the NHS. We've written to Health Sec James Murray asking for an explanation. Great reporting from @laurahughesft.bsky.social: www.ft.com/content/9348...

Our investigation at @foxglovelegal.bsky.social found that nearly a third of NHS hospitals have delivered *fewer* operations since adopting Palantir’s Federated Data Platform, indicating its claimed benefits should come with a serious health warning. Exclusive in the FT. www.ft.com/content/a3e9...
