Mr P Robinson (The First Minister) and  Mr M McGuinness (The deputy First Minister): On 8 December 2011, the Executive noted and agreed the end-year Delivery Report for the Programme for Government 2008-11.

The Delivery Report provides a robust assessment of progress up to 31 March 2011 against the key goals and commitments as set out in the last Programme for Government and the departmental targets set out under its 23 Public Service Agreements (PSAs). The report also provides an overview of departmental initiatives to address the equality and good relations which form part of the PfG.

This report is an important milestone in measuring delivery against commitments over the past three years. Approximately 67% of the total number of targets have either already been completed or expect to be completed.

It is recognised that many targets have achievement dates beyond 31 March 2011. In such cases the report recognises the need for ongoing monitoring of the targets which have not yet been completed.

A copy of the report has been be placed in the Assembly Library and is also available from http://www.northernireland.gov.uk/pfg-2008-2011.htm
