The UK government is formally reviewing its contract with US software company Palantir for health technology used in the National Health Service (NHS). Multiple outlets report that the review is underway to determine whether the government should continue the partnership or end it early. Technology minister Liz Kendall confirmed that the contract is being reassessed, stating that the health secretary is reviewing all aspects of the agreement.

The review’s scope and timeline are described as being designed to evaluate whether the contract remains suitable and deliverable, and whether ending it early would be preferable to continuing under the existing terms.
