Information related to the regulation on the number of deputy heads for organizations and units under ministries and ministerial-level agencies has received much attention from readers.
According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, up to now, the draft Decree of the Government stipulating the functions, tasks, powers and organizational structure of ministries and ministerial-level agencies still has 3 different groups of opinions related to the regulation of the number of deputy cap.
The opinions focus on determining the number of deputy heads of departments, offices, inspectors, offices and public service units under the organizational structure of the ministry; the number of deputy heads of departments under type 1 departments; and the number of deputy heads of teams under departments under type 1 departments.
These are all contents that directly affect the organization and personnel, requiring careful consideration to ensure feasibility and suitability for practice.
At a recent meeting to give opinions on the draft Decree of the Government regulating the functions, tasks, powers and organizational structure of ministries and ministerial-level agencies, Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra emphasized that the development of the Decree must closely follow the viewpoints and policies of the Politburo as well as relevant Party documents.
This is a basic principle to ensure unity throughout the system, not going against the direction in the implementation process.
In addition, the Decree must strictly comply with legal regulations and the authority of the Government, while ensuring reasonableness, avoiding mediocrity, ensuring decentralization and delegation of power. Ministries and branches will base on practical conditions to flexibly arrange the number of deputy heads out of the total assigned number, ensuring that it is suitable for functions, tasks and workload.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the determination of the number of deputy cap should not be too rigid or mechanical because if the regulation is too rigid, there is no necessary openness, it can affect the operational efficiency of the apparatus.
Taking the example of the tax sector - a field with a wide scope of management and a large workload, the Deputy Prime Minister said that if there were not enough qualified deputy heads to manage, the work would be very difficult.
According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the arrangement of deputy cap must comply with the regulations in the 5-year roadmap in the spirit of Resolution 190 of the National Assembly. This is a difficult problem when it must both meet the political orientation and suit the practical requirements of each industry and each field.
Therefore, there needs to be a balance to ensure synchronization, unity, and connectivity, creating conditions for units to operate effectively, towards the highest goal of work efficiency.
Another important content mentioned by the Deputy Prime Minister is the requirement to have a roadmap to handle the number of surplus deputy cap in a reasonable, harmonious and humane manner. The arrangement of the apparatus is not only an organization issue but also a human issue, so there needs to be a cautious and appropriate step to create consensus.
