The plan, which will guide the Government from 2021 to 2024, is currently being prepared by policy officials.
The Government says that the “responses, along with other data, will help to determine how islanders’ concerns and priorities may have changed as a result of the covid-19 pandemic.”
The Chief Minister, Senator John Le Fondré, said: “The Government Plan forms a vital part of our strategic framework for the Island.
"The covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted upon people’s lives and that’s why we want to hear from Islanders to understand if their experience of the health emergency has altered their views on the Government’s five strategic priorities.”
The survey closes on 31 August at midnight, and a summary of responses will shortly follow on the Government’s consultations page.
