Talking General Practice · BMA to ballot on ‘plan B’ for GP contracts, NHS workforce plan, single patient record fears · 29 May 2026 podcast

Palantir currently has the contract to deliver the NHS Federated Data Platform, which is the platform that enables data sharing across. voice-verified

The NHS GP PAX is not currently connected to that. voice-verified

But trusts and ICBs are. voice-verified

That platform will obviously be involved in the single patient record. voice-verified

But exactly how that will work and what information Palantir will have access to, you know, that's not clear. voice-verified

And obviously I suppose the other concern is that the NHS and the government has a pretty poor track record of delivering on these massive IT projects. voice-verified

I mean, Nick, I seem to remember many years ago you writing about the national programme for IT. voice-verified

I mean that didn't really get very voice-verified

Far did it. voice-verified

So I think there's a lot of you know concerns that really need to be worked through. voice-verified

No, it's not. voice-verified

I mean, you touched on a lot of those concerns earlier, didn't you? voice-verified

And I think we said on the last news podcast when we were talking about the first steps in collective action around data sharing requests that the the BMA GP committee said that the government hadn't spoken to it at all about these plans for a single patient record and what it would mean for the data that GPs are responsible for. voice-verified

I mean, that seems baffling really, seeing as, you know, it's going to have such a huge impact on GP's role as data controllers. voice-verified

You know, as we talked about seems voice-verified

baffling the government hasn't spoken to them. voice-verified

In an update to GP members this week, BMA GP Committee Deputy Chair Dr. voice-verified

David Wrigley described the plans, uh it's a term you use, the plans as a power grab by the government that lack protections for patients. voice-verified

He shared a link to the data privacy campaigner's med confidential briefing on the plan. voice-verified

Actually a link that Dr Katie Brammell's also shared on social media. voice-verified
