LONDON The U.K. government began courting U.S. data and surveillance firm Palantir to work on ways to tap patient data from the National Health Service back in January 2019, according to documents seen by POLITICO that shed light on the relationship with the company.
The documents show the government pitched access to NHS data earlier than has previously been reported and a year before Palantir won a controversial contract to mine the NHS s COVID-19 patient data.
In a meeting at the exclusive get-together of business leaders and policymakers in Davos, Switzerland, that year, former Trade Secretary Liam Fox encouraged the U.S. data giant s executives to make use of “untapped” NHS data.

FULTON COUNTY, GA Superintendent Mike Looney recently announced Noel Maloof will become the new chief operations officer for Fulton County Schools. The cabinet-level position oversees the non-instructional functions that support the school district, such as capital programs, facilities services, operational planning, school nutrition, and transportation. Mr. Maloof is an exceptional addition to our Fulton County Schools leadership team, said Superintendent Mike Looney. In addition to relevant regional, district-level experience with operations, he brings a depth of school-based leadership experience as a former principal, assistant principal, and teacher.
ATLANTA â The Fulton County School System is entering the final year of its five-year building program in better shape financially and operationally than expected.
âWhat a climb we ve had and we re almost at the top,â said Louis Mosley, interim director of operations for the district. âThe good news is I have a message of promises made and promises delivered.â
Under Capital Plan 2022 which kicked off in June 2017, Mosely said 88 of the districtâs 105 schools will have been âtouchedâ in some way, either through building upgrades, technology improvements, safety equipment or combinations of all.
The $980 million capital plan is funded primarily through the 1-cent Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, which was renewed by voters for a fourth time in June 2017 and runs through June 2022. The current SPLOST was initially projected to raise $940 million over the five-year period.
