🚨 Even Parliament's @CommonsSITC committee is now telling the government to trigger the break clause in Palantir's NHS contract, warning it leaves patients' data at the mercy of foreign actors.

@Keir_Starmer @jamesmurray_ldn are you listening??

The NHS spent £241M outsourcing scans to private firms due to understaffing.

90% of radiology heads worry about quality, meaning NHS doctors are double-checking the work anyway. An unsustainable drain on funds & a failure to retain staff.

Please support our new petition and help spread it.
The Government is planning to scale back NHS recruitment and replace vital healthcare roles with AI technology to cut costs. This could leave patients facing fewer trained staff, unsafe care, and longer waits.

We urge the Government and new Health Secretary James Murray to reject these dangerous cost-cutting proposals and commit instead to rebuilding a properly staffed, publicly accountable NHS that puts patient care before austerity and partnership with private corporate interests, recognising that the economy must be made to work to improve the lives of ordinary people.

Please support the petition and help spread it.

URGENT! We want people not AI to run our NHS - let's stop stripping the care out of healthcare.

It turns out the a decade of “austerity” and lack of investment in health and social care has broken the system

The NHS needs investment but the flow in acute hospitals won’t improve until social care issues for the elderly are resolved

Don’t believe the far right or others for that matter when they tell you that an insurance based system or private companies will do better

@RoyLilley The public have been sold this line for decades - what was ‘choice’ meant to be? ‘Look, we’re privatising your services and that will take money from the front line - but that’s ok, because now you have CHOICE.”

[Tower Hamlets KONP @THKONP]

@RoyLilley “There is no alternative”?

[Tower Hamlets KONP @THKONP]

@RoyLilley NO, NO, NO!! So, after 40 yrs of being told by neoliberals that we’re CONSUMERS not CITIZENS (“There’s so such thing as society”), & having wealth extracted from every formerly public service, including the NHS, your solution is to OUTSOURCE the blame for what’s gone wrong to us?

We have been told that the NHS is in recovery mode under Wes Streeting's leadership. It really is not true.

Two-thirds of NHS staff believe shortage of nurses is endangering patients, survey shows

[Dr Tony O’Sullivan @DrTonyOSullivan]

Very comprehensive, excellent.
Wes Streeting sold his soul to the devil of private interests and has betrayed the NHS, it’s 1.3 million staff and the population who rely on it for health

[Just Treatment 💊 @JustTreatment]

🚨🚨🚨 NHS England is quietly handing over “unlimited access” to identifiable patient data to US spy-tech firm Palantir & other consultancy firms working on the Federated Data Platform.

Patients have not consented to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS!

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

This is now a national emergency ‼️

@wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer NO PALANTIR in #NHS

[Tower Hamlets KONP @THKONP]

@WillE84 @ShaunLintern GPs do not want to hand your data over to Palantir

[Nick Mann @drnickmann]

@ShaunLintern Conflating a nationally interoperable EPR with data-sharing platforms eg https://t.co/UCkeIp8U6f is a fundamental misconstruing.
Govt-ordained, privatised EPR systems *caused* this problem.
Of course doctors etc want interoperability.
Palantir’s data-sharing is wholly different.

If nothing matters more than our health, why does UK healthcare spending lag behind countries like France and Germany?

After years of real terms cuts, we need >£30bn more per year to get our NHS back on its feet.
