# The National Health Service (Determination of Districts) (No. 4) Order 1992, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order abolishes the district of Airedale and varies the district of Bradford so as to incorporate part of the former district of Airedale. It also abolishes the districts of Harrogate, Northallerton, Scarborough and York and merges those districts, together with the remainder of the former district of Airedale, into a new district called North Yorkshire District (article 2 and Schedule).
The Order makes provision for the transfer of officers (article 3) from Airedale Health Authority and Bradford Health Authority, which are abolished on 1st December 1992 by the National Health Service (District Health Authorities) (No. 4) Order 1992 (“the 1992 Order”), to the new Bradford Health Authority established by that Order. It also provides for the transfer of officers (article 3) from Harrogate, Northallerton, Scarborough and York Health Authorities, which are also abolished on that date by the 1992 Order, to the new North Yorkshire Health Authority established by that Order.
This Order makes provision for the transfer of rights and liabilities of the abolished authorities (article 5). It also makes further provision consequential on the establishment of the new authorities and corrects a reference in an earlier instrument.
