Today, in the Guardian:
Public sector workers have voiced “deep concern” after Coventry city council signed a £500,000-a-year artificial intelligence contract with the US data technology company Palantir.
The deal is the first of its kind between a UK local authority and the Denver-based company, which supplies technology to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and to help Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts.
Palantir already has a number of public sector contracts in the UK, including providing AI to help tackle organised crime in Leicestershire and building the new NHS federated data platform. Keir Starmer toured the company’s Washington office in February with its chief executive and co-founder, Alex Karp.
It was the deal to handle NHS England patient data which prompted Ian Murray, Governor General for Scotland, to accuse FM John Swinney of somehow being old-fashioned, ‘analogue‘, and letting patients in Scotland down.
The truth is, you will not be surprised, somewhat different.
There are no suggestions that Palantir is being considered for any role in NHS Scotland.

While Lenus Health is a digital consultancy managing patient data, they are compliant with User-Managed Protocols enabling patients to control what data they share and who can access it. You can read more on them at:
