Senior Tory demands resignation of NHS chief over Mid Staffs scandal Mrs Leslie said that Sir David had overseen a "diabolical catastrophe" at Stafford hospital and that he "must surely resign." Mr de Bois, the MP for Enfield North, said the calls for Sir David's resignation are not about "finding a scapegoat." "There has to be accountability over Mid Staffs," Mr de Bois said. Many of my constituents have spoken to me about this. Although I appreciate the position of the Prime Minister I don't think this is a question of finding a scapegoat. This is about accountability and there is a sense of a lack of accountability in the NHS organisation. David Nicholson should reflect on his position.
