The article reports that NHS England has permitted Palantir and other external contractors to access identifiable patient data in its federated data platform prior to pseudonymisation, prompting MPs, patient groups, and campaigners to raise concerns about data privacy, transparency, and security governance; NHS England says external access is controlled by government security clearance and director-level approvals, while critics call for tighter oversight. The piece describes policy and reputational risk rather than an actual data breach or technical compromise.
