PER CURIAM
  
  .
 

   AND NOW,
  
  this 13
  
   th
  
  day of February, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
  
   GRANTED.
  
  The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is:
 

  Where the trial court violates the psychiatrist/patient privilege of a minor who had previously been placed in a juvenile delinquency facility and ordered to participate in ongoing mental health treatment, and where the trial court allowed, over objection, statements made by the juvenile to his psychiatrist and/or psychologist to be provided to the Sexual Offender Assessment Board (SOAB) pursuant to an Act 21 civil commitment procedure, is the violation harmless error?
