UK: Palantir break clause


Cross party committee of MPs has just officially recommended that the government trigger the break clause in #Palantir's #NHS contract. The report states:

⚠️"Palantir’s increasing presence across the public sector represents an unacceptable point of weakness"

⚠️"The government's digital transformation ambitions could be derailed at any time by a decision taken outside our shores based on the narrow interests of a foreign commercial or state actor"

⚠️"Palantir will follow their #commercial self-interests in attempting to burrow so deep into the NHS that they cannot be #migrated away from"

⚠️"Of the small number of technology providers that the UK public sector relies upon, Palantir concerns us most"

Healthwatch offers (yet) more evidence of the emergence (actually, the engineering) of a two tier health system, with increased use of the private secure (by those who can afford it) to avoid long(er) waiting lists for treatment.

As I've note before, successive health secretaries (and Govt.s) have engineered a crisis in the NHS with the intent of expanding the cherry-picking of treatment by private providers.

This isn't a policy bug, its a feature!

Our new dentist surgery dumped NHS patients at the first possible chance. They also have “pay as you go” and tiered payment plans. The more you pay, the quicker you get to see the dentist. Money buys you access.

This is what private health looks like. Fight for your #NHS
