The Act, however, specifically did not include any hospital or related institution operated or licensed and certified by the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston, Massachusetts. The Commission consists of seven members appointed by the Gov- ernor for terms of four years. Four members must have no connec- tion with the management or policy of any hospitals or related institutions.

After July 1, 1974, the Commission will have the added responsi- bility of reviewing the established rates and that these rates are set in reasonable relationship to the institution's aggregate costs and that the rates are set equitably among all purchasers of services without undue discrimination (Code 1957, 1971 Repl.
