(This note is not part of the Order) This Order contains amendments to the Middlesbrough Primary Care Trust (Establishment) Amendment Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/2074). S.I. 2006/2074 reduces the area of the Middlesbrough Primary Care Trust ("the trust") so that it covers the county of Middlesbrough with effect from 1st October 2006.
