Any hints to using Questionnaire and QuestionnaireResponse to represent a [Personal] Statement of Health (SOH) form? Thanks.

What sort of hints are you looking for? A QuestionnaireResponse can say pretty much anything however you like - but the data won't be that useful for subsequent query/analysis unless you extract it and turn it into Observations, MedicationStatements or other resources.

Relationships between CodeSystem/ValueSets and Questionnaire. Are these terminology artefacts necessory for Q and QS?

And could QuestionnaireResponse exist independently without the Questionnaire?

CodeSystem and ValueSet are important if you're trying to capture 'standard' codes in your questionnaire - SNOMED, ICD, drug codes, etc. ValueSets are also important if you want to have the same set of codes used to answer multiple questions.

It is possible to have QuestionnaireResponses without FHIR representations of the Questionnaire, but it'll be hard to do much computable with it.
