## Opinion text

Judge WELLS
concurring.
In my opinion, the important and dispositive question in this case is whether governing boards of licensed hospitals may deny staff privileges to licensed practitioners except upon finding that such practitioners applying for staff privileges do not meet the hospital’s standards for “education, training, experience, demonstrated competence and ability, judgment, character, and the reasonable objectives and regulations of the hospital, including, but not limited to appropriate utilization of hospital facilities, see N.C. Gen. Stat. 131E-85A (1983 Cum. Supp.). Accordingly, appellant in this case is entitled to have his application considered against such standards.
