A person who has been served notice pursuant to regulation 5 of the GOS Regulations before the appointed day may, on or after that day, appeal to the First-tier Tribunal against the decision of the Primary Care Trust and that appeal must be treated as an appeal against a decision of the Board.

Where a Primary Care Trust has given notice to a person pursuant to regulation 5 of the GOS Regulations, the Board, if it considers that the person should be disqualified from entering into a contract may on or after the appointed day, apply for a contract disqualification order in relation to that person, pursuant to regulation 6(2) of the GOS Regulations.
