Care Quality Commission chief executive Cynthia Bower has faced calls to resign during her appearance before the inquiry into the failings in care delivered by Mid-Staffordshire Foundation Trust.
Bower was chief executive of West Midlands Strategic Health Authority, which oversees the trust, from 2006-8, a period which overlapped with higher-than-expected death rates at Stafford Hospital, an issue at the heart of the inquiry.
The Guardian's NHS reforms blog reports that Bower remained defiant during her appearance before the inquiry but faced calls to resign from the CQC from families whose relatives died at ths hospital.
