Here at Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL) we recognise the importance of how the NHS uses data and what it means to patients and the public. We also understand and support the principles of clarity and reassurance about security, confidentiality, transparency, and ethics.

We are aware of the national NHS England Federated Data Platform (FDP) programme that has been commissioned with the company, Palantir. The ambition for the Federated Data Platform has been developed and is being led at a national level by NHS England, with the intention of supporting improved operational insight, patient flow and service planning across the NHS:

It's important CNWL continues to engage with national colleagues, as required, to understand the scope and implications of this programme. Given the volume of correspondence received and to ensure that communication remains accurate and consistent, the Trust will not be responding to individual enquiries regarding the Federated Data Platform.

Any further questions or expressions of interest relating to the national programme should be directed to the relevant NHS England team via their published channels:
