Palantir lobbied a UK health minister to extend its NHS AI platform to GP records, messages show

Palantir Technologies urged a UK health minister to consider adding GP records to its federated data platform for NHS England, according to The Guardian. GP data is excluded from Palantir's current £330 million NHS contract.

Messages obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by campaign group Foxglove appear to show discussions between Palantir UK head Louis Mosley and former health minister Zubir Ahmed from July 2025 to March 2026. In February, Palantir argued that "the logic of joining up primary and secondary [care] data is unarguable" and described its software as suitable for the work.

The British Medical Association and patient groups oppose adding GP data to the platform, citing concerns about patient trust. Health secretary Yvette Cooper told Parliament that the government was still reviewing Palantir's NHS contract, which reaches its next end point in 2029, and said there was "a huge long-term benefit to using the NHS to develop UK sovereign AI".
