The debate over Palantir alternatives for the NHS has intensified as Greater Manchester proves that homegrown data platforms can outperform imported systems. Dr. Devan Moodley, CEO of Health Connect Global, highlights that the region's integrated care board declined Palantir's federated data platform, building a stronger capability with British universities, NHS clinicians, and domestic tech firms.
Why Palantir Isn't the Only Option for the NHS
As healthcare becomes increasingly dependent on digital platforms, cloud infrastructure, and AI systems, there is a growing risk of excessive reliance on a small number of dominant overseas technology companies. This is not anti-American sentiment; it is common sense. The domestic alternative is not hypothetical—it is already running in Greater Manchester.

How Greater Manchester Built a Better System
Greater Manchester’s integrated care board spent nine years without Palantir, concluding that its own homegrown data capability was stronger. They built it with British universities, NHS clinicians, and domestic technology firms. The result is a sovereign health data infrastructure that outperforms the imported version.
Why Downing Street Should Act
If one English region can build sovereign health data infrastructure that outperforms the imported version, why can’t the country? Downing Street should ask this simple question. The domestic alternative is not hypothetical—it is already running. NHS staff and voters alike are turning away from foreign tech dominance.
