Concurring Opinion by
Judge Doyle:I concur with the result reached by the majority and, although I was not a member of the Court which decided Bittner v. Department of Public Welfare, 50 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 396, 413 A.2d 20 (1980), I believe that the principle of stare decisis should not be taken lightly. DPW’s concern is more properly directed to the legislative branch rather than the judicial branch of government.
