Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is a consolidated appeal of final orders denying appellants standing to intervene as parties in an administrative hearing to contest the issuance of a certificate of need (CON) to appellee. We find that appellants, licenced short-term psychiatric facilities, have standing to contest issuance of a CON for a long-term psychiatric facility. See Psychiatric Institutes of America, Inc. v. Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, 491 So.2d 1199 (Fla. 1st DCA 1986).

REVERSED.

ERVIN, WIGGINTON and BARFIELD, JJ., concur.
