More than 44,000 people have submitted legal objections seeking to stop NHS England’s Federated Data Platform (FDP) from handling their personal health information, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The FDP is operated using AI and software supplied by Palantir, a US technology company.
The objections ask NHS England to prevent the platform from sharing, storing, or using individuals’ data. The campaign is reported to reference article 21 of the UK GDPR, which relates to individuals’ rights to object to certain processing of personal data.
Both sources describe the objections as part of a wider public backlash around Palantir’s role in the platform, including concerns about the company’s broader activities. While the overall reported facts focus on the number of objections and the request to block FDP processing, the outlets differ in emphasis: one frames the news as an exclusive report within broader political controversy, while the other summarises the legal basis and the platform’s reliance on Palantir software.
