Pursuant to the stipulation and agreement of the parties consent to the entry of this judgment,
IT IS ADJUDGED that:
1. The proper charge for copies of Plaintiff's hospital records is $1.00 per page.

3. The charges set forth in § 28.24, Fla. Stat (1987) control the patient record copy charges in § 395.017, Fla. Stat. (Supp. 1988) made by the Hospital or by any third party record copying service under contract with the Hospital.
*1594. Each party shall bear their own costs and attorney’s fees.
