## Summary

Hospital trusts that NHS England lists as "realising benefits" from Palantir's £330m federated data platform (FDP) say they are not using it or any of its applications, the Guardian reports. Of 137 trusts NHS England records as live, 29 told freedom of information requests they were either not using the system or its apps. NHS England says nearly 140 trusts have reported benefits, and Palantir cites 117,000 additional operations.
