Why the contribution is important

Survey input biased by incorrect simplistic ranking

Surely the hope here is that the scot gov is getting a huge selection of ideas and suggestions and we all feel we have a voice. Getting hung up on rankings seems to be a bit of a side issue.

Just make sure they have common sense, and it has been screened by medical experts who are doing it for the right reasons and not influenced by £'s.

Would be even better if somehow the R impact of each idea could be explored. After all, the one idea ranked with one vote of 5 could have no impact, but the idea with 33 votes with an average of 4.9 might impact R in a negative way.

I think this website is good but flawed in that most folk will scan what's on page 1 and if they don't see what they were thinking on adding then they'll just Add Topic (e.g. Dentists). Result is diluted important topics...

Surely all ideas on similar topics will be grouped together to provide accurate outcome of what the Scottish people feel?
