As Good Law Project considers response, ICO slams failure to comply with FoI request

The pre-action legal warning came after NHS England, a health department quango, published contracts for the deal launched at £330 million ahead of the Christmas holiday season.The Good Law Project is considering its response to the new publication. The decision to heavily redact the documents followed concerns about transparency in NHS England's dealings with the Federated Data Platform , the data store and analytics environment Palantir is set to support.

Another set of concerns focus on the confidentiality of medical data and patients' rights to exclude their data from the system., NHS England said:"Key lessons have been learned from previous data programmes including the need for a) transparency and b) data to be held in secure environments with the correct checks and balances in place.

However, other documents from NHS England make clear that Palantir staff will be able to see the data for technical administration purposes.
