"More than 44,000 people have filed legal objections to prevent the NHS from using their health records on a data platform powered by US technology company Palantir."

(This affects what is called the new NHS Federated Data Platform for England. While it's not yet built, the more voices that are on record, the better)

A vile company founded by vile people.

It seems Wales are not part of this based on these answers so I doubt NI are either -

Updated. Fair point. (I also don't know about NI).

It doesn't apply in Scotland. Not sure about NI.

But thanks for the shout.
