Source: The Guardian

The Guardian reports that 29 hospital trusts NHS England lists as ‘realising benefits’ from its £330m Palantir federated data platform told freedom of information requests the system is not live or they are not using any of its applications. Epsom and St Helier, Kent and Medway, Mersey Care, Nottingham University Hospitals and University Hospitals of North Midlands were among those quoted. NHS England says nearly 140 trusts have reported benefits and has previously said its list includes trusts using the tools for back office data analysis and submission.

Why it matters

NHS England has conceded it cannot prove the platform caused the 117,539 extra operations it cites, and the Office for Statistics Regulation said it will take the ‘realising benefits’ claim forward under its casework function.
