Dissenting Opinion by Judge Colins:
I dissent.
I cannot agree with the majority’s interpretation that “private” and “program” as used in Section 503 of the MH/MR Act, 50 P.S. §4503, ipso jure, equate to a requirement that both the principal and interest of this trust must be depleted.
I agree with Petitioners that the language of Section 507(a)(4) of the MH/MR Act, 50 P.S. §4507(a)(4), absolutely compels the Commonwealths payment for Jane Nasons interim care.
