Palantir defends data use amid MPs’ calls for greater scrutiny

What happened: Palantir has responded to criticism after NHS guidance recommended all hospitals use its software from this month, prompting concerns from MPs about data privacy and oversight.

Why it matters:

  • The use of Palantir's software affects patient data management across NHS hospitals.
  • MPs' demand for increased scrutiny highlights worries about transparency and data protection.

MNN Take: Palantir's software is now widely adopted in NHS hospitals, raising questions about how patient data is handled. Lawmakers are seeking clearer oversight to ensure data is used responsibly.
