The arrangement and reorganization of public service units is still mechanical.

Presenting the report, Chairman of the National Assembly 's Committee on Law Hoang Thanh Tung said that from 2018 to now, the Government, ministries, branches and localities have made many efforts to implement policies and laws on innovation of the organization and management system, improving the quality and efficiency of operations of public service units (PSUs), achieving many important results.

The arrangement and reorganization of public service units achieved positive results, especially in the 2015 - 2021 period, exceeding the set target (reduced by 13.33%/target of 10%). The public service units after arrangement and reorganization have promoted their leading role, improving the quality of providing public service; most agencies have developed projects to streamline the payroll of public service units receiving salaries from the state budget under their management; in the 2015 - 2021 period, the total payroll has decreased, exceeding the set target (reduced by 11.67%/target of 10%); the number of deputies has basically met the prescribed criteria;

In addition, the policy of socializing the provision of public career services has gradually become effective; contributing to meeting people's demand for high-quality services and reducing pressure and overload in the operations of public service delivery units; the management capacity of units has been gradually improved; the internal organizational structure of many units has been reviewed and rearranged in a streamlined direction.

Promoting decentralization, autonomy, and financial self-responsibility has helped public service units proactively use financial resources more effectively.

The monitoring delegation also pointed out that the implementation of policies and laws on innovation of organization and operation of public service units still has some shortcomings and limitations.

That is, the institutionalization of the Party's policies and the improvement of laws on the organization and operation of public service units are still not complete and timely; legal regulations on the organization and operation of public service units are still scattered, with limited unity; and the implementation of some documents still faces difficulties and obstacles.

“The reorganization and arrangement are still mainly mechanical. The speed of reorganization and arrangement of units is slowing down in the period 2021 - 2023. The reduction of public service payrolls receiving salaries from the State budget in the period 2021 - 2023 in localities is at a low rate. There is still a situation of equalization in implementing the target of reducing 10% of public service payrolls. Policies to improve the quality of human resources are implemented slowly, with low results” - said the Chairman of the National Assembly's Law Committee.

The monitoring delegation pointed out many subjective reasons such as: the awareness of a part of cadres, civil servants and public employees is not complete and comprehensive, they still have a mindset of waiting and relying on the state; they have not paid attention to the development and promulgation of synchronous mechanisms and policies on public service units; the leadership and direction of the implementation of policies and laws on the organization and operation of public service units is sometimes not timely, lacking inspection and supervision; the state management work is still not synchronous, the role of state management in the provision of public service services is not clearly defined; the supervision mechanism of the National Assembly and People's Councils is not regular...

Based on the above reality, the monitoring delegation emphasized that in the coming time, ministries, branches and localities should develop specific plans and roadmaps to continue promoting the arrangement of public service units; strengthen direction, inspection and supervision to strive to achieve the goals and complete the tasks and solutions set out.

In the first quarter of 2025, complete the planning of the network of public service units in the industry and field associated with the planning and socio -economic development plan.

In 2024 alone, the Government will complete the approval of the Network Planning for higher education and pedagogical institutions for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, so that ministries, branches, and localities can review, arrange, and reorganize institutions under their management.

Localities continue to arrange and reorganize educational facilities in association with improving the quality of education on the principle of creating convenience for people, in accordance with the actual conditions of each locality. At the same time, urgently organize and arrange medical facilities in a comprehensive, continuous and integrated manner at 3 levels, ensuring that all people can access convenient medical services.

Promote the equitization of public service units, striving to ensure the goal of converting 100% of qualified economic and other public service units into joint stock companies by 2025.

Early completion of the roadmap for calculating the full price of public service using the State budget as a basis for assigning tasks, placing orders or bidding for the provision of public service according to regulations; implementing the roadmap for a market value mechanism with State management for prices of important public service services such as healthcare, higher education, vocational education, etc.

Along with that, promptly approve the autonomy project of public service units, in which it is necessary to clearly define the roles, functions, tasks, organizational structure, human resources, and appropriate financial mechanisms, creating conditions for the units to develop stably and sustainably...
