    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Nov. 17, 1986.
    Phillip J. Jones of Wotitzky, Wotitzky, Wilkins, Frohlich & Jones, Punta Gorda, for appellants in No. BK-460.
    Chris H. Bentley of Fuller & Johnson, P.A., Tallahassee, William E. Hoffmann, Jr. of King & Spalding, Atlanta, Ga., for appellants in No. BL-50.
    R.S. Power, of Dept, of Health and Rehabilitative Services, Tallahassee, F. Philip Blank and Reynold Meyer, Tallahassee, for appellee.
   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.
