Government officials had argued that it was feasible to hand the running of the Federated Data Platform (FDP), which Palantir is contracted to build, to another provider, people familiar with the discussions said. They have begun quietly exploring the technical process of removing Palantir from NHS systems in advance of any decision to use the original contract's break clause in 2027. "We are confident we could do it if we wanted to," said a senior government figure. The official stressed that the assessment was not prompted by specific dissatisfaction with Palantir.

Smart data The secure sharing of customer data – at the customer's request – with ATPs, who use this data to provide innovative products and services that benefit the customer. While smart data schemes typically involve the sharing of data about the customer, complementary open data initiatives (e.g. the Fuel Finder scheme) illustrate how smart data powers in the Data (Use and Access) Act can also support broader market transparency and efficiency. These initiatives share the common goal of using data to drive better decision-making and consumer outcomes and may inform future smart data applications. Smart data is not primarily focused on public sector data, but certain use cases could be enabled or enhanced by it.

Smart Data Strategy www.gov.uk/government/p... from UK Department for Business and Trade

"Smart data" is mainly about sharing customer data but the same Government powers (in the DUA Act) can also be used to mandate release of open data e.g. the Fuel Finder scheme

Alaska coalition tells Senate committee 'Housing is health care,' urges data sharing and stable funding Owen Brooks of the Alaska Coalition on Housing and Homelessness told the Senate Health committee that poor housing quality and homelessness produce dramatically worse health outcomes and urged better HMIS interoperability, Medicaid enrollment data sharing, and sustained state funding for homeless assistance programs.

Housing conditions in Alaska are directly linked to alarming health outcomes, with those experiencing homelessness facing a life expectancy nearly three decades shorter than the general population.

Bill would put FAFSA/WASFA status into students' high‑school plans; agency warns implementation lacks funding WASAC staff told the advisory board that Senate Bill 5841 would require FAFSA/WASFA completion indicators in high‑school-and‑beyond plans and that portal changes and data‑sharing with OSPI are needed. A WASAC fiscal note of a little over $100,000 for FY27 was not funded; staff plan to seek funding next year.

A new bill could revolutionize how Washington students track their financial aid status by integrating FAFSA and WASFA data into their high school plans, but there's a funding hurdle to overcome!

Senate Labor and Commerce reports SB 181 — seafood task force data-sharing bill The committee voted to report SB 181, a seafood-task-force recommendation to enable data sharing between the University of Alaska (ISER) and the Department of Labor to support policymaking. No public testimony was offered and the bill was reported with individual recommendations and a fiscal note.

Alaska's Senate is moving forward with a groundbreaking bill to enhance workforce data sharing in the seafood sector—could this be the key to smarter policymaking?

It turns out, a small number of datasets account for a disproportionate share of downstream impact.

In this example funded by MJFF 6 datasets were produced. 2 went on to be reused in 16 other studies published by MJFF.

Resident raises privacy concerns as Trenton council renews Flock Safety license-plate reader contract A resident urged the council to clarify how license-plate-reader (LPR) data is shared with federal agencies before renewing the city's Flock Safety agreement; Chief Hawkins responded that federal access is disabled by default and the council approved the renewal for about $29,000.

A Trenton resident's call for transparency on license-plate-reader data usage sparks vital discussions as the city renews its surveillance contract.

A senior NHS official privately urged colleagues to add more patient data into a Palantir-built platform at the same time as he was being paid to advise the US technology company. Matthew Swindells has been joint chair of four major hospital trusts in north-west London since April 2022 and has also since then acted as an adviser to Palantir through the now-defunct lobbying firm Global Counsel, which was co-founded by Lord Peter Mandelson.

The Bill's backers – including AtkinsRéalis, Arup and BGS – say implementation costs would be modest because it would piggyback on Nuar and existing BGS projects, though firms would need to adopt standards and make submissions. They cite industry estimates that better use of ground‑investigation data could be worth about £1.2bn a year through avoided duplicate drilling and improved designs, and say Nuar's utility mapping is already expected to save hundreds of millions annually through fewer excavation strikes and better coordination.
