Palantir speaks out the secretive firm at the heart of the covid response
One of the pandemic\u2019s apparent success stories has been the development and operation of an NHS covid-19 data store. Holding information on everything from ventilators to vaccinations, the data store has driven the NHS and government\u2019s decision-making throughout.
\nHowever, privacy campaigners have raised concerns about the way in which sensitive NHS data could be used by the companies involved in the data store. And what does the future hold for the data store once the emergency rules on information-sharing can no longer be justified?
\nIn this podcast, HSJ\u2019s Nick Carding quizzes the UK head of Palantir \u2013 one of the main companies involved in the data store - about its work on one of the most important government data projects.
