District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Nov. 17, 1986.
Phillip J. Jones of Wotitzky, Wotitzky, Wilkins, Frohlich & Jones, Punta Gorda, for appellants in No. BK-460.
Chris H. Bentley of Fuller & Johnson, P.A., Tallahassee, William E. Hoffmann, Jr. of King & Spalding, Atlanta, Ga., for appellants in No. BL-50.
R.S. Power, of Dept, of Health and Rehabilitative Services, Tallahassee, F. Philip Blank and Reynold Meyer, Tallahassee, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This is a consolidated appeal of final orders denying appellants standing to intervene as parties in an administrative hearing to contest the issuance of a certificate of need (CON) to appellee. We find that appellants, licenced short-term psychiatric facilities, have standing to contest issuance of a CON for a long-term psychiatric facility. See Psychiatric Institutes of America, Inc. v. Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, 491 So.2d 1199 (Fla. 1st DCA 1986).
REVERSED.
ERVIN, WIGGINTON and BARFIELD, JJ., concur.
