appointment was at a clinic defined as primary care for the TPB program
(determined through a set of clinic stop codes) AND the patient does

have the TPB eligibility automatically inactivated (introduced by
PSO*7*160). As all active TPB patient's will be inactivated (item #2
above), there is no need for this functionality to continue. This patch
will stop this functionality by removing the PSO TPB SD SUB protocol
entry from the SDAM APPOINTMENT EVENTS Scheduling protocol.
