I led the team that built the NHS Federated Data Platform. I've left NHS England and written down what I think the debate is getting wrong.

The National Data Guardian says public trust must weigh in the FDP decision. The evidence she used to measure it has the anti-Palantir campaign's fingerprints on every page. Palantir called it capture. Are they right?

The National Data Guardian’s FDP letter bases its advice on six categories of evidence. I mapped each one against the scholarly literature on political persuasion. All six follow a named manipulation technique. Did the NDG intend to join the anti-Palantir campaign? 🧵1/5

4/5 Third example: Trust, values and ethics each have a concrete test. The letter ignores all three and relies on a feeling that cannot be measured. Scholars have named this since Aristotle.

5/5 Palantir accused the National Data Guardian of being captured by campaign groups. After going through the evidence, I find that a difficult charge to argue with. Full article: bartlettdata.co.uk/post/ndg-…

An NHS professor using Nazi imagery to attack someone because their surname is Mosley. This is what passes for debate in the campaign against Palantir.

The Good Law Project vehemently defended its anti-Palantir stunt of putting fake health scare leaflets and notices with NHS and government logos on them into St Thomas’s hospital. And is now having its cake and eating it in squeakily pontificating about the rule of law instead
This is what FDP looks like. Not dystopia, not a US data grab. It turns no one into a fascist.
An NHS analyst building an app to standardise outpatient follow-ups across her region for efficiency. This is what the platform is for and why the campaign to kill it is so dangerous.
When the NHS signed its FDP contract with Palantir in 2023, it accidentally bought one of the most valuable AI capabilities in enterprise software. It appears in no NHS strategy, and only a dozen or so people use it.

Since I wrote this insider piece on Federated Data Platform, the media noise has only increased. But the programme is here to stay. Six months on, and pretty much everything I wrote still holds.

The FDP is rated green while frontline digitisation is red.
Replacing the thing that's working to gamble on an unproven alternative would be an extraordinary decision.
A 12-month extension instead of the contractual 24 - What would be the point?

The anti-FDP campaign has a large online following. When it comes to showing up, the numbers tell a different story. Around 20 people at Westminster supporting a proposal that would send NHS data maturity back six years.
Good. NHS tech should not be an arena for political protest

NHSE published FDP adoption and benefit figures this week. But their message is not carrying to councils who pass motions against the supplier without understanding the impact on their own citizens.
