Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has had discussions with NHS trusts who (a) suspended or (b) paused pilots of Palantir Foundry on that company's suitability for NHS contracts.

My Rt. Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, has not held discussions with National Health Service trusts running pilots of Palantir’s Foundry software.

The use of Foundry by trusts is an operational issue for NHS England. Foundry pilots have been delivering benefits such as enabling trusts to improve hospital discharges and theatre utilisation and to reduce waiting lists through identifying errors.
