>The SNP has already come under fire for asking for public and expert responses to policy ideas or initiatives at least once a week in recent years.
>New figures reveal what opposition leaders call the “eye-watering” bill for such exercises: £4.6 million in the three years to May 2024.
I obviously understand the need of consultations, and the thought process behind them, but i do feel that they have become rather excessive recently. I wish there was more _do_ , especially around large capital infrastructure projects, which (personally) feel like they seem to be buried under consultations sometimes.
Unionist think tank doesn’t like Scottish Government spending tiny fraction of budget on consulting public opinion, shock.
Well, my jaw dropped, I can tell you.
