More than 95% of pledges are being met, says Carwyn Jones | |
(about 9 hours later) | |
First Minister Carwyn Jones has said more than 95% of his government's promises are being met, with less than a year to go to the assembly election. | |
But opposition parties said the Programme for Government annual report contained claims that were "fantasy". | |
The report says all five main 2011 Labour manifesto promises were met. | |
But some pledges will not be fulfilled - including a promise that NHS operations cancelled twice must be carried out within two weeks. | |
The document details progress on more than 500 separate commitments made by Mr Jones's administration. | |
The five key ones the review says have been met involved expanding the Flying Start pre-school programme for disadvantaged families, longer GP opening hours, providing 500 Community Support Officers, creating the Jobs Growth Wales employment scheme and raising schools spending. | |
'Mad' | |
Mr Jones said: "Back in 2011 we put forward the most ambitious and comprehensive government programme since devolution. | |
"I'm absolutely delighted to say that even in the toughest financial circumstances, we've delivered for the people of Wales." | |
However Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams said: "First I started off chuckling, then I was laughing out loud, because it's frankly ridiculous, and then I was mad. | |
"It's a fantasy". | |
