UK government departments are slow and hostile to change, so I am skeptical that Palantir being parachuted in, would produce anything more than a CSV file with a few hundred rows in it.

The U.S. government almost certainly has intimate health data on every Briton as a result of these deals.

Palantir holds over £1B in contracts with the UK government, some of them of an undisclosed nature. Must be some impressive CSV.
They've been in there for some time. Just ask Wes Streeting.
