The decision shall include findings of fact sufficient to constitute the basis of the decision and record the vote of each member of the Panel. Any member of the Panel may prepare a dissenting decision or a decision concurring in part and dissenting in part and such separate decision will be disseminated in the same manner as the majority decision.
