The Telegraph has learnt that senior Government figures are considering a plan for Sir David Nicholson to ?pre-announce? his retirement as chief executive.
Sir David would then step down later this year or early in 2014, having managed the NHS through the first months of major Coalition reforms starting next month.
Sir David is under intense political pressure over the Mid Staffs hospital scandal, where poor care contributed to 1,200 deaths.
A public inquiry into Mid Staffs led to calls for his resignation.
David Cameron has backed him to remain in his post, and this week sent him supportive text messages, sources have disclosed.
