Why We Oppose Palantir in the NHS
Trust in the NHS is at Risk
Palantir uses US Department of Health Data to help ICE track and deport migrants. It provides advanced AI technology to the US and Israeli military and is complicit in the genocide in Gaza. Palantir software supports predictive policing technology. This contract expands the capacity for state surveillance in the UK. This is not a company we can trust with our sensitive health data.
The Software is a Waste of Public Money
This contract is part of the privatisation and outsourcing of the NHS, giving millions of pounds of public money to big tech instead of investing in NHS staff and NHS innovation. Palantir hired Peter Mandelson, disgraced associate of Jeffrey Epstein, to help them get contracts with the UK government, whilst multiple NHS leaders got jobs at Palantir.
Communities, Patients and Workers Stand Against Genocide and Surveillance
People across the country are organising against this contract. You can campaign in your hospital, your union and your local area. Together, we are stronger than big tech.
