Former NHS Chief Executive Lord Crisp has joined the army of elite protesters calling for the scrapping of the Health and Social Care Bill.

In a comment to BBC Radio 4's The World This Weekend, Lord Crisp called the proposed reforms "a mess" and "unnecessary in many ways". The scathing remark joins the mounting upheaval towards  the polemic NHS reforms.  Lord Crisp further hammers the nail on the head when he describes the Health Bill as "It misses the point",  "It's confused and confusing, and I think it's unfortunately setting the NHS back".

The former NHS Chief is amongst the echelons of health leaders who repugn the Bill such as The Royal College of GPs, The British Medical Association, The Royal College of Nurses, The Faculty of Health and most recently, The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health's call in the Health Bill being dropped is significant as it's president had earlier attended a Downing street meeting, and had been seen to support the Bill.
