One of the pandemic’s apparent success stories has been the development and operation of an NHS covid-19 data store. Holding information on everything from ventilators to vaccinations, the data store has driven the NHS and government’s decision-making throughout.

In this podcast, HSJ’s Nick Carding quizzes the UK head of Palantir – one of the main companies involved in the data store - about its work on one of the most important government data projects.
