About the report

This report comes at a time when the government is proposing changes to UK data protection law, which will weaken the rights of individuals and reduce the accountability of corporations. It comes when hospitals are being forced to share patients’ data multinational corporations like Palantir, who in turn are vying for a multi-million pound contract for the NHS Federated Data Platform.

It provides a foundation to analyse these threats so that the data protection rights of people in the UK data protection can be strengthened not weakened. We look forward to you joining us at this event.
