Rights groups threaten legal action over NHS data pilot based on Palantir tech
An NHS pilot to upload patient data in a data analytics system based on tech from Palantir is the subject of a legal threat from campaign groups who claim it appears to circumvent data protection and procurement laws.
Last week campaign groups including the Doctors' Association UK, National Pensioners' Convention, and Just Treatment warned NHS England of its use of"an extensive and extremely sensitive set of data" by Palantir without appropriate legal safeguards. "Our clients therefore have an acute and justifiable fear that the Pilot marks a fundamental change in the way in which NHS data is processed, held and accessed. As we explain below, our clients are very concerned about the legality of this fundamental change, which raises concerns that may require litigation," the letter states.
It also states the pilot is at risk of violating data protection law consent requirements, specifically regarding the need to seek consent for processing so-called pseudonymized data.
