The plan sets six priorities: getting people into work; managing population growth and migration; reforming Health and Social Services; housing the community; reforming the government and the public sector; and developing long-term planning.

A seventh priority – promoting family and community values – could be added to that vision if Members agree to adopt the single amendment lodged to the plan. Ministers have agreed to accept it but it will be up to the House as a whole to decide.

Looking ahead to the debate – which is unlikely to be controversial, given the lack of amendments and the thorough consultation process that preceded it – Chief Minister Ian Gorst said he had high hopes about what could be achieved in the next three years.
