General description
Inevitably, there will be a wide range of views on the desired national directions. These views need to be reconciled and the stakeholders need to be able to explain why they have drawn the conclusions they have. The results of the National Forum could be considered as an input to subsequent deliberations of the government or of an independent experts' commission that take forward the drafting of the policy document.
