  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order makes amendments to primary and secondary legislation consequential on the Primary Medical Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2004 (S.I. 2004/311 (N.I. 2)) which introduced a new framework for primary medical services in Northern Ireland. That framework replaced the previous system of general medical services and amended provisions relating to personal medical services.\nArticle 2 and the Schedule replace references to the old system in the Medical Act 1983 and three statutory instruments with references to the new system.\nArticle 3 saves the previous provisions of sections 11 and 12 of the Medical Act 1983 in relation to employment in medical practices before the amendments made by paragraph 1 of the Schedule came into force.",
