NHS England Clarifies Data Access by Palantir Staff Amid Documentation Oversight

NHS England has acknowledged an error in its data-protection paperwork that failed to fully disclose access rights to patient information. Contrary to earlier statements, staff at Palantir, the US-based data analytics company, are able to view identifiable patient data within the Federated Data Platform system. This clarification was provided following a request from the National Data Guardian, highlighting concerns about transparency in handling sensitive medical records.
