Greater Manchester Rejects Palantir Healthcare Contract as UK Government Faces Calls to Cancel Deal

Greater Manchester is pushing back against a major healthcare contract with Palantir, while campaigners call on the UK government to cancel the deal. Regional officials argue that local authorities can deliver the work more effectively themselves, raising questions about data control, public accountability, and the role of private technology firms in healthcare. The contract has become part of a wider debate over outsourcing public services and handling sensitive medical information. Government officials and Palantir must now explain the agreement clearly.
