  "account": "Nineteen NHS trusts, representing approximately 21 percent of the 137 trusts claiming to benefit from Palantir's Federated Data Platform, have denied using the technology, according to responses from the Medact health worker campaign group. The government must decide in December whether to continue a £330 million agreement with Palantir for the platform. The dispute stems from Palantir's claim that the platform enhances patient care and streamlines operations, though some trusts dispute the claim.",
