NHS England removes reference to 137 trusts benefiting from FDP

NHS England (NHSE) has removed a claim from its website stating that 137 hospital trusts are benefiting from Palantir’s Federated Data Platform (FDP), after 29 NHS trusts disclosed they were not using the system or its tools.
Health leaders had previously published a register of NHS organisations listed as live with and realising benefits from the FDP, a system intended to improve patient outcomes, streamline operating theatre schedules, and accelerate patient discharges. Following the news that 29 trusts had either not launched the system or were not using its applications, the original list was removed and replaced with a less detailed webpage saying early adopters are seeing reduced administration, faster patient pathways, and more time for care.
In related news, the first NHS regional coordination centre (RCC) to use the FDP replaced an existing system with greater functionality, according to a digitalhealth exclusive.
