Following on from the post of 17 March where I outlined the consultation document, here are the questions that are contained in the questionnaire. You can judge for yourselves if they are trivial, meaningful or essential. If you have ever filled in something like this, you will notice some open, closed or multiple choice questions. I understand this questionnaire to have been written in conjunction with the Consultation Institute.

That is the most biased and non-consultative consultation I have ever seen. I've just completed it - they are only consulting on if you want to volunteer or give them money.

Wow, how do these people live with themselves?
