So, Matthew Swindells (a senior NHS official - joint chair of four NW London NHS Trust) urged his colleagues to put more patient data into Palantir's patient record system, at the same time that he was a paid consultant for Palantir.

Once again, the privatisation of NHS functions is riddled with conflicts of interest; the move to private provision is hardly a 'reasoned' decision but rather is the result of the corrupt purchase of influence.

@ChrisMayLA6 Article is behind a paywall so have to ask, isn't this "corruption in public office" and when is he going to be dismissed or at least suspended from his current posts and prosecuted?

if you have 'reader view' you can easily breach the paywall, but I understand you may not be doing that on principle.... as far as he is concerned concerns have been raised but his defence is he paused his involvement with Palantir when giving that advice (for a period of months)... so no (direct) conflict of interest, but this is a defence to the letter of any rules not their spirit

Aha, excellent Q.: when the powerful decide?

@wood5y @ChrisMayLA6 never, the Establishment looks out for its own. Can you recall a single instance of accountability in the last 70 years or more? Aberfan, the Cambridge 5, Bloody Sunday, Hillsborough, Jean-Charles de Menezes, war crimes in Afghanistan or Iraq, Grenfell, tainted blood, Post Office Horizon, the list just goes on, with the guilty as often as not promoted like Lord Robens (Aberfan) or Cressida Dick (Menezes).
That's why the Andrew formerly known as Prince or Mandelson being arrested is so newsworthy, but they have not been prosecuted and condemnded for their crimes.

@wood5y @ChrisMayLA6 compare that with France, where former heads of state like Jacques Chirac or Nicolas Sarkozy were successfully prosecuted, or Germany where so was Helmut Kohl, who reunified the country. Italy had a revolt led by its judges to nail corrupt politicians.
Just as Americans are unaware of how bad their health "care" system is, Brits are blissfully unaware of the corruption and unaccountability of its elites, starting of course with the royal family setting the tone.
