Description
RABINOWITZ, Justice. OPINION This appeal involves a challenge to the validity of a decision made by the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services. 1 The Department determined that the Lake Otis Hospital project, for which a conditional certificate of need 2 had previously been issued, had been substantially implemented. As a consequence of this decision, the certificate of need will remain in effect indefinitely, until the project is completed or the certificate is revoked. I. Background From April 19, 1972 to July 1, 1977, the Department issued a series of construction only licenses to LOC for a hospital to be built in Anchorage, adjacent to the Lake Otis Medical Center. Construction commenced in 1973 but was stalled at the initial ground preparation and foundation stage, mainly due to difficulties LOC encountered in obtaining long term financing. 3 On July 27, 1977, the Department issued LOC a certificate of need for a 125 bed general hospital in Anchorage, Alaska. By its terms, the certificate would expire in 18 months from the date of issue unless an extension were granted. 4 The Department subsequently granted LOC two six-month extensions, the second extending the certificate of need from July 1, 1979, to December 31, 1979.
