Frontline doctors are urging the Government to rethink its plans for a new \u00a3480 million patient database with US firm Palantir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Doctors Association UK has called on the Government to pause what would be the largest-ever NHS data centralisation project to ensure the best deal for patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr David Nicholl, spokesperson for the Doctors\u2019 Association UK, said the deal would go against \u201ckey NHS values of ensuring we\u2019re working together\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said: \u201cDAUK remains concerned the Government is prepared to sign a nearly \u00a30.5 billion deal which has not been subject to sufficient public scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis deal represents a poor deal for taxpayers and for patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt goes against the key NHS values of ensuring that \u2018we\u2019re working together for patients\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe plans for an enforced opt-in to the FDP mean that basic issues of informed consent are being ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is time to put a pause on all of this and engage in some proper scrutiny to get the best deal for all patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a letter published on our website, more than 160 doctors have signed a letter calling for a pause in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The letter said: \u201cPlease pause these plans and take steps to ensure public trust, value for money, a trustworthy partner and patient consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe all need an NHS data platform that treasures patient trust, ensures patients\u2019 data remain a public asset and that benefits the health service for decades to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow is the moment to pause and to get this right. We all want better for NHS patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martha Dark, director of campaign group Foxglove, which has been working with DAUK on the issue, said: \u201cWe\u2019re now seeing a groundswell of doctors come out against the government\u2019s half-billion pound NHS IT deal with Palantir. If doctors and hospitals don\u2019t use this system, and patients don\u2019t trust it, the FDP will fail, simple as that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe all badly want to see the NHS have the investment it needs – in staff, and in tech that doctors and patients can trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGovernment should read the writing on the wall, pause this deal, and go back to the drawing board for real solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read the letter in full below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Letter to the Secretary of State, Steve Barclay: Pause the Federated Data Platform<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 11 November 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dear Steve Barclay,<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are frontline NHS doctors with extensive, first-hand experience of the inner workings of the NHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Health data plays a critical role in patient care. We grapple with the challenges of managing health<\/p>\n\n\n\n data well, making sure it is used to help our patients while maintaining their trust. Patient data is an<\/p>\n\n\n\n enormous asset to the NHS, and it must remain a public asset that benefits the health service and<\/p>\n\n\n\n patients for decades to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We understand you are due to sign a \u00a3480 million contract with Palantir for the Federated Data<\/p>\n\n\n\n Platform[1] (FDP). This would be the largest NHS data centralisation project in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many of us have worked in the NHS long enough to witness previous, expensive NHS IT projects \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n from Care.Data to General Practice Data for Planning and Research (GPDPR) \u2013 fail. These projects<\/p>\n\n\n\n failed because of patient distrust. We urge you to take immediate action to prevent history<\/p>\n\n\n\n repeating itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are asking you to pause these plans and first take steps to ensure public trust, value for<\/p>\n\n\n\n money, a trustworthy partner and patient consent before making a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Ensure patient trust \u2013 seek patient consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The FDP can only succeed if it maintains public trust in the health service by ensuring patients have a<\/p>\n\n\n\n say in how their data flows into it and is used within it. We are concerned by recent flip flopping<\/p>\n\n\n\n about whether patients can opt out of sharing data in the FDP for uses beyond their direct care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Health ministers initially said reforms to patient choice and clarity around the application of opt-out<\/p>\n\n\n\n within FDP was a high priority for NHS England.[2] The FDP FAQ on the NHS website originally said<\/p>\n\n\n\n the National Data Opt Out (NDOO) would apply to relevant data in the FDP. It was later updated to<\/p>\n\n\n\n say patients cannot opt out of sharing their health data[3] with the FDP at all, even for uses beyond<\/p>\n\n\n\n their care. The FAQ says this is because patient data will go through an \u2018anonymisation\u2019 process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, given the data in a patient\u2019s NHS record is incredibly detailed, we are concerned it could<\/p>\n\n\n\n be re-identifiable even after anonymisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Polling from YouGov, quoted on BBC One on Sunday, is a good temperature check on these plans. It<\/p>\n\n\n\n found that almost half of adults in England who have not yet opted out are likely to do so should the<\/p>\n\n\n\n Federated Data Platform be introduced and run by a private company.[4] That would be disastrous<\/p>\n\n\n\n for the NHS. To ensure patient trust, patients need a say and urgent clarity is needed about whether<\/p>\n\n\n\n and how patient consent will apply to the FDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Ensure patient trust \u2013 choose a trusted partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We urge you to consider whether Palantir is the most suitable, trustworthy and fairly procured<\/p>\n\n\n\n supplier for the FDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The FDP contract award is yet to be announced, but Palantir is widely reported to be the<\/p>\n\n\n\n frontrunner.[5] Palantir has a controversial reputation and has been heavily criticised for its work<\/p>\n\n\n\n with military, security, intelligence, and police agencies.[6]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Palantir\u2019s leaders have made public remarks that alarm us. Palantir chair Peter Thiel told the Oxford<\/p>\n\n\n\n University Union that British love for the NHS was \u201cStockholm Syndrome\u201d[7] adding: \u201cIn theory, you<\/p>\n\n\n\n just rip the whole thing from the ground and start over\u201d. Last Sunday, Palantir\u2019s CEO Alex Karp told<\/p>\n\n\n\n the BBC, when asked whether data in the FDP could be sold in the future: “by the UK government, not by me. I <\/p>\n\n\n\n don’t have the ability to do it”. [8] If patients think there is a risk their health data could<\/p>\n\n\n\n be sold without their consent, they will rightly be concerned about giving us the information we<\/p>\n\n\n\n need to provide care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Palantir doesn\u2019t have a long background in the NHS, indeed they began working as an NHS supplier<\/p>\n\n\n\n at the start of the pandemic. Procurement policies were suspended and Palantir secured a \u00a31<\/p>\n\n\n\n contract to run an emergency Covid Datastore without competition. That contract has been<\/p>\n\n\n\n renewed multiple times, giving \u00a360 million for Palantir[9] without competition from other suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The design of the FDP procurement process appears to give an unfair advantage to Palantir. 36 NHS<\/p>\n\n\n\n trusts were enrolled in pilots of Palantir\u2019s Foundry software that serve as test runs for the FDP. No<\/p>\n\n\n\n other bidder, such as Quantexa [10] and a UK consortium had such an opportunity to test its systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n in NHS hospitals. It seems they have struggled to compete against Palantir\u2019s advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Palantir\u2019s controversial reputation and any perception of their unfair advantage in the procurement<\/p>\n\n\n\n process could lead patients to withhold critical information and to mistrust the NHS. We urge you to<\/p>\n\n\n\n consider a more trustworthy supplier and review the procurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Ensure value for money, benefit for the NHS and sign a contract for a system that works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have concerns about value for money, benefit to the NHS and effectiveness of the FDP. Please<\/p>\n\n\n\n address these concerns during a pause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Of the pilots that ran, 11 of the 36 were suspended or paused in March.[11] According to the FDP<\/p>\n\n\n\n FAQ webpage, only one has restarted. We are concerned that such a large amount of money could<\/p>\n\n\n\n be spent on a product that seems to have failed in approximately one third of its test cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Colleagues at some of the pilot trusts reported troubling details about the pilots. Liverpool Heart and<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chest Hospital reported that the Palantir pilot: \u201cdidn\u2019t meet our needs\u201d.[12] The New York Times<\/p>\n\n\n\n reported that Palantir\u2019s Foundry at Milton Keynes University Hospital Trust[13], didn\u2019t work with the<\/p>\n\n\n\n hospital\u2019s systems, forcing staff to enter data manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, we understand that the directors from pilot trusts were recently asked by NHS<\/p>\n\n\n\n executives[14] to sign a letter supporting the FDP. Only 16 officials signed[15], suggesting most<\/p>\n\n\n\n trusts who trialled Foundry did not feel able to endorse the FDP. Please provide more information<\/p>\n\n\n\n about these failed pilots, guidance on what lessons have been learned and assurances that this new<\/p>\n\n\n\n system will work as it needs to for patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We do not write this letter lightly. We all see the urgent need for a better IT solution for the NHS<\/p>\n\n\n\n that harnesses the benefits of patient data to improve care nationwide. But as it stands, with<\/p>\n\n\n\n respect, we don\u2019t feel the FDP is that solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please pause these plans and take steps to ensure public trust, value for money, a trustworthy<\/p>\n\n\n\n partner and patient consent. We all need an NHS data platform that treasures patient trust,<\/p>\n\n\n\n ensures patients\u2019 data remain a public asset and that benefits the health service for decades to<\/p>\n\n\n\n come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now is the moment to pause and to get this right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We all want better for NHS patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.
