First minister Rhodri Morgan has said his administration is "getting there" as it marks the first year coalition between Labour and the Liberal democrats.

The deal was struck between Labour and the Liberal Democrats in Wales as a way to end the instability of the minority Labour administration that had contributed to the downfall of previous first minister Alun Michael.

Marking the occasion, the administration issued a report detailing progress on its policy commitments. It said 46 policies had been achieved while a further 43 were on target. It also said another 37 were underway while two have been reconsidered.

Morgan told BBC Radio Wales the administration had developed a clear strategy and was "getting there". "It has enabled us to deliver so many things, from free entry to museums and the setting up of Finance Wales," he said.

The leader of the Lib Dems in the Welsh assembly, Mike German, described the coalition as a "work in progress" but said progress in the right direction was being made.

But opponents have described the Lib-Lab coalition as a "failure" which had failed to bring about significant improvements.

Plaid Cymru leader Ieuan Wyn Jones said "very little progress had been made".

"It has certainly not been a year to remember, the partnership programme was highly unambitious. We are not setting out ideas for changing things in Wales," he argued.Nick Bourne, leader of the Welsh Conservative Party, added to the criticism, saying problems in manufacturing, the NHS, education and the crisis in rural Wales were all getting worse.

"It is clear that the coalition has been a mammoth failure and the problems that were facing Wales prior to the official marriage are not only still evident throughout Wales, but have, in fact, increased in severity and occurrence.

"The Lib-Lab record is indeed one they should be ashamed of," said Bourne.
