Palantir lobbied UK minister for NHS GP data access, leaked messages show

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Leaked messages suggest Palantir lobbied a UK health minister in late 2025 to expand its NHS data platform to include GP records, despite the UK government stating in 2023 that this data would not be part of the national platform. The messages, purportedly from Palantir's UK head, argued for the unarguable logic of integrating primary and secondary care data, while also acknowledging the need to manage political opposition. This lobbying effort highlights concerns about the reach of AI tools into sensitive health data. AI
