The Programme for Government Annual Report was published on 10 May setting out the progress made on more than 300 commitments across all of Government over the proceeding 12 months.

This Report provides a comprehensive update on the progress of the commitments in its first year and highlights very specific plans which have been put in place to address in the short and longer term, key areas of housing, homelessness, education, rural and regional development, job creation, broadband, agriculture and climate change.

The report also highlights the ambition and steps to improve services for families, children, people with disabilities and mental health problems, older people including key reforms necessary in the health and justice sectors.

It also reflects the significant work undertaken to ensure an effective whole-of-government approach to the Brexit negotiations that takes full account of the Government’s negotiating priorities.

Work is underway on a further interim Progress Report to reflect work advanced by the Government since May which is expected to be finalised in the coming weeks.
