Palantir lobbied a UK health minister to extend its AI into GP records

See how this story connects

WhatsApp messages obtained by the campaign group Foxglove under Freedom of Information rules, and shared with the Guardian, appear to be between Palantir’s UK boss, Louis Mosley, and former health minister Zubir Ahmed. They span July 2025 to March 2026 and urge Ahmed to bring GP data into Palantir’s NHS platform, although GP data was expressly ruled out of Palantir’s £330m contract with NHS England. Palantir said it is for the government to decide how its software is rolled out.

Why it matters

GP data is outside the scope of the NHS contract, and the BMA warns that putting it on Palantir’s platform could undermine patient trust.
