I've been working on a #FDP #FederatedDataPlatform timeline, to try to help bring together several strands of information: * public scope (creep) * contract data * supplier controversies * NHS board reassurances * news stories pacharanero.github.io/nhse/fdp/ If I've missed anything let me know.

I spotted Matthew Swindells had been hired by Global Counsel in 2022. I don't know when he was actually hired. That's Mandelson's lobby firm, with Palantir as a client. Swindells chaired some events for them. The FT did a bunch of great work on this story too www.theregister.com/software/202...

Oh and when did they accidentally buy the AI ? Always the best way to buy stuff! Then there's Foundry. When did they go to the market for a low code environment ?

Don't think you have the bit in there where NHSE board were told there is an opt out? The shape shifting aspect of it that needs to be highlighted more. It was "patient facing" - it isn't. It was front line and clinical - it isn't. Really it's just a means to build dash boards and so called apps.
