150.990                    Certificate of Need:

MSSNY has insisted on the elimination of the technique utilized by the New York State Department of Health of withholding or delaying Certificates of Need from hospitals (and other institutions) until compliance with other State Health Department regulations is obtained.  It is the position of MSSNY that the public be advised of the medical profession’s concern about this abuse of authority.  (HOD 1989-15; Reaffirmed HOD 2013; Reaffirmed HOD 2023)
