Greater Manchester's health board has postponed adopting the UK government's Palantir-run NHS Federated Data Platform for the second time, citing insufficient evidence that it serves the population's best interests. The region's existing analytics system, built over six years using Azure, Snowflake, and Tableau, reportedly exceeds the FDP's current capabilities and has already demonstrated measurable health outcomes. Manchester remains the only integrated care board in England to defer adoption of the £330 million platform, which has been signed by over 120 NHS trusts nationwide.
