More than a million patients could come off NHS waiting lists under a controversial £330m data deal with Palantir, the US tech giant. NHS figures seen by The Telegraph show hospitals using the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP), run under a contract led by Palantir, have achieved major increases in theatre use, faster cancer diagnoses and sharp reductions in delayed discharges.
