Greater Manchester still says no to NHS data platform with Palantir at its heart

One of the UK's biggest health regions has doubled down on its decision not to join the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP), owing to concerns over its lead supplier, Palantir, and a lack of evidence for the technology's benefits. Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board (ICB), which manages health services for 2.8 million people, deferred a decision on whether to sign up to the FDP last year. It is the only ICB in England to do so.
