Rejected petition Sir David Nicholson must be sacked
Rejected on
Between 400 and 1200 people died unnecessarily at Mid-Staffordshire Hospital. As head of the Strategic Health Authority at the time Sir David Nicholson was ultimately responsible for this scandal. It matters not whether he knew what was going on and condoned it or he was asleep at the wheel. He is not fit to lead the NHS into what has to be a new era. He must be sacked and banned from public office for life.
