Speakeasy - Cost to the public purse?

The publication of the Speakeasy reports is already generating a significant amount of high quality comment from members and further to a committee meeting APT will be preparing a detailed response to the Summary Report.


However something stands out immediately:

1 How much does the use of a consultancy firm like this cost?

2 How much did it cost to produce the Summary Report found at:

http://www.highland.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/CEDAD1E6-5031-47BF-BDD1-5D7669B84DB3/0/ReportofProceedings.pdf

and who is the intended audience for this Report? What was wrong with just a plain A4 sheet of paper. Surely in these recessionary times all effort should be made to conserve resources? Producing something like this takes time and money and it is, I assume, being paid for at consultancy rates whatever they may be? Is this best value?
