Here is the result in plain text:
The First Minister Michelle O’Neill has said the programme for government is a “significant milestone” for the executive, as she presented it to the assembly on Monday afternoon.
Treating an extra 70,000 patients to reduce hospital waiting lists and building more than 5,000 new social homes by 2027 are targets in for government in the programme.
The plan, called “Doing What Matters Most”, was unanimously agreed by the four parties in the executive last week.
The programme for government runs to 100 pages and focuses on nine key priorities: Grow a globally competitive and sustainable economy; Deliver more affordable childcare; Cut health waiting lists; and so on.
A draft version of the programme was published last September before an eight-week public consultation, which received over 1,400 responses.
The final document contains specific targets, including reducing waiting lists by treating an additional 70,000 patients and increasing elective care capacity through expansion of elective care centres and mega clinics by investing £80m a year.
However, the document is “too vague” and lacks detail on how targets will be met, according to Deirdre Heenan, Professor of Social Policy at Ulster University.
