I work for Timberhonger and District Mental Health Trust (that's part of the National Health Service. Sometimes I think it should be called the National Disease Service, and certainly the bit I work for wouldn't know mental health if it ran up and bit them on the bum, but that's guvverment propaganda for you).
I discovered today that there is a Policy for Writing Policies, and you can also download a leaflet supporting the Policy for Writing Policies and Procedures. However, I have just read the Fire Policy. It is a document which is 3mm thick, and I still don't know what to do in the event of a fire. It doesn't tell you.
This is getting increasingly crucial because a small conflagration has broken out in my bottom drawer. It is threatening my collection of spare bootlaces and the teabags have already gone up in smoke.
What should I do?
Yours,
Billius Tuddington, OBE

Dear Billius,
I suggest you read the policy on reading policies, before you read the policy on writing policies that you need to read. If you don't read the policy on reading policies before reading the policy on writing policies, you'll need to read the policy on reading policies in order of policy statutes policy - probably in policy order.
There should be a risk assessment for such a large policy, as clearly the policy that thick could cause injury. Imagine how many paper cuts it could give, for example!
