Protesters gathered outside the Royal London Hospital to demand that the NHS cease its £330m contract with Palantir Technologies. The contract, which began in November 2023, is for the NHS’s federated data platform, which links data from hospitals nationwide. Activists urged the government to utilize the contractual break clause available in February 2027.
