The Steering Committee for the arrangement of administrative units at all levels and the development of a model of organizing local government at 2 levels (Government Steering Committee) has just issued Official Dispatch 68/CV-BCD on the orientation for the arrangement and reorganization of public service units in localities when implementing the model of organizing local government at 2 levels.
The document clearly stated the orientation for arranging local public service units in the education and health sector.
In the immediate future, stabilize the system of public service units in the education and health sectors in the locality, only implement the arrangement when it is really necessary and do not affect the operation of serving the essential needs of local people.
Accordingly, the commune level is assigned to manage educational institutions (currently kindergartens to secondary schools and ethnic boarding schools at the district level).
For the Medical Centers under the People's Committees at the district level, they will now be transferred to the Department of Health for management to organize the provision of services in inter-commune and ward areas.
Maintain commune health stations under the current health center or arrange health stations at the old commune level into 1 health station at the new commune level and have health stations in the old communes to serve the people.
Regarding implementation, the Steering Committee requires ministries and ministerial-level agencies to issue Circulars guiding the functions, tasks, and powers according to sectors and fields under their management for specialized agencies under the People's Committees at the provincial and commune levels in accordance with the 2-level local government organization model, to be completed before June 15.
Guidelines for reorganizing the network of public service units by sector and field from the central to the commune level according to the above orientation to provide public service when implementing the 2-level local government organization model.
In particular, providing basic and essential public service services, meeting the needs of the people, ensuring that there is no increase in units and the number of employees receiving salaries from the state budget, to be completed before June 15, 2025.
Localities proactively develop plans to reorganize and reorganize public service units under their management according to the orientation in this document and make timely adjustments according to the instructions of the ministries managing sectors and fields.
Ensure the organization and implementation synchronously with the implementation of the 2-level local government organization model, promptly meeting the requirements of providing public career services in the area according to regulations.
If there are any problems or difficulties in the implementation process, promptly report to the Government Steering Committee for consideration and resolution.
Recently, the Ministry of Health proposed that commune health stations be allowed to perform techniques, procedures, surgery, testing, diagnostic imaging and operate as a miniature hospital.
According to the draft, the station has the function of providing professional and technical services on primary health care, including: Preventive medicine, medical examination, treatment, rehabilitation, reproductive health, food safety, population, social protection, prevention and control of social evils.
