Request Summary: FOI request to the Trust regarding use of the Federated Data Platform
Request Category: Private Individuals
| Question Number 1: This is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding the local rolllout and implementation of the Federated Data Platform (FDP), provided by Palantir Technologies. Please can you provide me with the following information: Is the Trust already using the FDP? If the Trust isn鈥檛 already using the FDP can you please provide me with a specific rollout date? | |
| Answer To Question 1: Yes the Trust is using the FDP | |
| Question Number 2: It has been widely reported that there have been hidden and unbudgeted for costs to implementing the FDP at local and national levels. What is the projected and locally budgeted for cost of the rollout and implementation of the FDP that hasn鈥檛 already been provided for by NHSE national funding from the initial FDP contract? This might include, but is not limited to, extra training costs, staff costs, consultancy workers, hardware, software, licenses, or other IT related costs. | |
| Answer To Question 2: There is currently no directly associated local budget for use on the FDP. Staff costs are within existing budget and it is a case of work prioritisation to feed capacity up to support deployment, etc. | |
| Question Number 3: What FDP instances/apps/products are currently in use and what are planning to be rollout out? | |
| Answer To Question 3: Currently the Trust has rolled out Inpatient and RTT products. The Trust is implementing or piloting Cancer360, PTL and PLICS products. | |
| Question Number 4: What new jobs or roles have been created within the Trust to enable the implementation, development and running of the FDP? What other internally allocated resources in relation to the rollout and implementation of the FDP are there? | |
| Answer To Question 4: There have been no additional jobs or roles created to support the FDP. The implementation of different products are owned by the operational team where the product impacts and they role it out. Roles and responsibilities are identified in the development of project documentation prior to any FDP product being rolled out. | |
