NHS England's Federated Data Platform (FDP), managed by Palantir and costing £330 million, is facing criticism from some hospitals. Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust, which oversees seven hospitals and serves 1.5 million patients annually, expressed concerns in a letter to NHS England leaders about possible functionality losses with the FDP. They noted existing services that enhance care coordination, which may be undermined by the adoption of the new system. The trust emphasized that the FDP must engage more effectively with integrated care boards to better address data needs, a current shortfall in NHS data architecture.
We already have services within the Trust that deliver outpatient care coordination, referral-to-treatment validation and discharge planning... We believe we would lose functionality rather than gain it by adopting them.
We do believe that the FDP should be proactively engaging with integrated care boards to understand and support their data requirements, this is currently a significant gap in the NHS data architecture.
