The motion

That this House believes that every individual deserves high-quality healthcare, accessible when and where it’s needed and free at the point of use; further believes in the importance of upholding British democratic values throughout the work of the Government and all public services; notes the negative implications of Government contracts being awarded to those who do not share such values; further notes with concern the awarding of NHS data contracts to Palantir Technologies, a company whose founder and chair has repeatedly been shown not to be in alignment with such values; and supports the call of the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee to protect the interests of data owners such as NHS patients.
