   FARMER, Judge.

We reverse a final order of dismissal of plaintiffs’ medical malpractice complaint against an obstetrician and hospital for birth related neurological injuries to their child. We conclude that the failure to give notice to plaintiffs before the provision of medical services that the doctors had elected participation in the Neurological Injury Compensation Act deprives the agency of its exclusive jurisdiction and authorizes the circuit court to hear and adjudicate their claim.

As regards defendants’ contention that the agency has exclusive jurisdiction under circumstances where no notice was given before the provision of the services giving rise to the suit, we agree with and follow the decisions in Turner v. Hubrich, 656 So.2d 970 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995), and Braniff v. Galen of Florida Inc., 20 Fla.L.Weekly D2140, — So.2d— [1995 WL 529194] (Fla. 1st DCA Sept. 11, 1995). We join the first district in certifying the following question to the supreme court:

“Does § 766.316, Fla.Stat. (1993), require that health care providers give pre-delivery notice to their obstetrical patients of their participation in the Florida Birth Related Neurological Injury Compensation Plan as a condition precedent to the providers invoking NICA as the patient’s exclusive remedy?”

REVERSED.
