It doesn't mention NHS in the blog post, so I guess it's for a different project. I'm still concerned and disappointed that Palantir is in bed with the NHS.

Yeah it links to the contract, it's housing. Still good, but palantir is run by fascists, so they should especially be kept away from healthcare

It's a project to find and manage housing for asylum-seekers.

It's good that Palantir got the boot, but that project is nowhere near as great a threat as Palantir having access to NHS data. It just illustrates the severe need to reform government procurement processes.
