Ian, can you spell it out for me, is this purely a data company and how would it help the NHS?, also outsourcing millions to an American company, when it could put to better use in the UK.
Well, it's the usual problem: colossal quantities of tax-payers cash has been handed over to US companies without scrutiny or competitive tendering and the plan is to allow these companies unfettered access to patient details. The motive is almost always financial and tracking who, exactly, benefits from this outpouring of cash is very difficult when dealing with the US.
This quote sums things up rather nicely:
"Sam Smith, coordinator at health privacy campaign group medConfidential, said: "The culture of cover-up continues. NHS England will only offer privacy, transparency, or be trustworthy when they're forced to by legal action. NHS England will do to Palantir what the Post Office did to Fujitsu." "
