FLAHERTY, Justice,
dissenting.
Relying on the reasoning set forth by Judge Craig below, I dissent from the opinion of the majority which serves only to further an inexhaustible bureaucracy at work.
The result reached by the majority requires that a powerful diagnostic tool lay idle while institutional wrangling inches the parties to a final outcome regarding the applicability of the Health Care Facilities Act, 35 P.S. § 448.101 et seq., to the hospital’s acquisition of the scanner; this is a condonation of institutionalism in its darkest endeavor and one in which I cannot join.
LARSEN, J., joins this dissenting opinion.
