Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We have for appellate review Community Hospital of the Palm Beaches, Inc. v. Guerrero, 579 So. 2d 304 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991), in which the Fourth-District Court of Appeal held that section 395.0115(8)(b), Florida Statutes (1989), and section 768.-40(6)(b), Florida Statutes (1987),1 violated article I, section 21 of the Florida Constitution, right of access to the courts. We have jurisdiction based on article V, section 3(b)(1) of the Florida Constitution. We affirm the decision below based on Psychiatric Associates v. Siegel, 610 So. 2d 419 (Fla.1992).

It is so ordered.

BARKETT, C.J., and SHAW, GRIMES, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur. . Section 768.40(6)(b), Florida Statutes (1987) was renumbered as section 766.101(6)(b), Florida Statutes (Supp.1988).
