Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many of the 10 published NHS federated data platform case studies were drafted, contributed to, or reviewed prior to publication, by Palantir Technologies, its subsidiaries, or associated contractors, rather than authored solely by the featured NHS Trust or integrated care board.

I refer the Noble Lord to the text on the NHS England website explaining how the case studies in question were drawn up, which, for ease of reference, is reproduced below:

“Our case studies showcase how NHS organisations are using the NHS Federated Data Platform to drive innovation and improve care. While NHS England supports their production, the views and content presented are those of the individual trusts or integrated care boards featured.

Each case study focuses on a specific challenge, the solution implemented, and the measurable impact for patients and staff. Whether it’s increasing theatre efficiency, reducing cancellations, or enabling faster diagnoses, these examples demonstrate the power of data to support better decision-making and service delivery.
