Sir David Nicholson should stand down as chief executive of the NHS, campaigners have claimed ahead of a damning report into hundreds of deaths at Stafford hospital.
An official inquiry into failings at the hospital, where between 400 and 1,200 patients died needlessly due to a catalogue of failings and appalling standards of care, is due to be published later this month.
The report is expected to blame managers who cut costs and reduced staffing levels in an attempt to hit "efficiency" targets and win foundation status.
Before taking control of the health service, Sir David ran the health authority responsible for supervising Stafford between August 2005 and April 2006.
