In addition to the achieved results, the implementation of tasks in the Resolution of the Government and the Official Dispatch of the Prime Minister of a number of ministries, branches and localities still has problems and limitations.
Of which, 2 Ministries: Health and Home Affairs have not submitted to the Prime Minister a plan to cut and simplify administrative procedures in accordance with the Government's requirements in Resolution No. 66/NQ-CP and 2 Ministries: Industry and Trade, Health are not expected to achieve the target of cutting at least 30% of business conditions.
The information systems of some Ministries (such as household registration; business household registration, business household, cooperative; announcement of animal feed information, ...) have not yet been upgraded in a timely manner to meet the requirements of implementing local authorities at 2 levels, implementing administrative procedures regardless of administrative boundaries and connecting and sharing data with the provincial-level administrative procedures information system.
The arrangement of cadres and civil servants of some agencies has not yet been fully guaranteed, meeting the correct expertise and profession of the job position. The personnel arrangement is still uneven among the Public Administration Service Centers, not meeting the job requirements.
