MEMORANDUM OF DECISION.
Contrary to the contention of Robert Shackford on his appeal from a summary judgment of the Superior Court (Cumberland County Brodrick, J.) in favor of Lawrence Bouchard, the trial court properly held that the 90-day tolling period of 24 M.R.S.A. § 2903
(repealed and replaced by P.L. 1985, ch. 804 § 14) was not operative because Shackford’s written notice was not served on Bouchard, and the statute of limitations for alleged negligent professional health care, see 14 M.R.S.A. § 753 (1980) (current version at 24 M.R.S.A. § 2902 (Supp. 1988)), therefore barred Shackford’s claim.
