Background & analysis
According to a Guardian investigation published on 2 November 2026, NHS England publicly lists 29 hospital trusts as "realising benefits" from Palantir's federated data platform (FDP), a contract worth £330m. The investigation found that most of those 29 trusts say the system is not yet live or that they are not using any of its AI-powered features. A senior health official described the gap between the NHS's claims and the trusts' actual feedback as "very misleading". The FDP has been controversial since its selection, and the latest findings centre on whether the benefits described by NHS England match what trusts report in practice.
