Baroness Young told the Health Secretary of her decision to leave the Care Quality Commission (CQC) on November 26 - the day it sent an emergency taskforce into scandal-hit Basildon hospital.
The watchdog was subsequently branded "toothless" after a report discovered a raft of underperforming hospitals and high death rates.
Dr Foster Intelligence rated a dozen hospitals as "significantly underperforming", despite nine of them being rated good or excellent by the CQC.
Seven hospitals were also found to have considerably higher mortality rates for the past five years.
