HUTCHINSON, Justice,
dissenting.
For the reasons set forth in my dissenting opinion in Heller and Simone v. Frankston, 504 Pa. 528, 475 A.2d 1291 (1984), I also dissent in this case. I would reach the merits, determine whether an irreconcilable conflict exists between Section 602 of the Health Care Services Malpractice Act, Act of October 15, 1975, P.L. 390, as amended, 40 P.S. § 1301.602 (Supp.1983-84) and Section 1409 of the Fraud and Abuse Control Act, Act of June 13, 1967, P.L. 31, added July 10, 1980, P.L. 493, 62 P.S. § 1409, and, if so, resolve it.
