Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has just signed Official Dispatch No. 112/CD-TTg dated November 6, 2024 requesting ministries, branches and localities to focus on resolving backlog projects, stop construction, urgently deploy, complete and put into use to prevent waste and loss.
The telegram clearly stated that there are still many works and projects that have not been promptly resolved by authorities, sectors, agencies and units, causing backlogs and prolonged construction halts, such as:
The investment project to build Can Tho City Oncology Hospital, the second facility project of Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital, the flood prevention project in Ho Chi Minh City, the Vicem Operation and Transaction Center, etc. caused waste of resources and public outrage.
The Prime Minister requested many tasks to focus on resolving existing problems, promptly completing and putting into use backlogged projects, construction works, long-term construction suspensions, headquarters, and offices.
Ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, government agencies, and chairmen of provincial and municipal People's Committees shall organize the dissemination and serious and effective implementation of General Secretary To Lam's direction on combating waste.
Effectively implement the Government's Resolutions and the Prime Minister's directives on the effective use of resources, quickly deploy projects and works, avoid loss and waste, especially backlog projects, projects that have stopped construction, headquarters of ministries, agencies, state-owned commercial banks, investment projects in production and business at corporations, state-owned companies, hospitals, student dormitories, etc.
Ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, government agencies, and Chairmen of People's Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities shall direct the immediate implementation of reviewing and making statistics of all backlogged projects, construction works, headquarters, and offices that are not in use or are not being used effectively within their scope and management area.
Urgently develop a plan to handle backlogged projects and works, construction stops, and slow-progress construction; effectively use headquarters and office buildings, and report to the Prime Minister before November 30, 2024.
Clearly define the responsibilities of work content, progress, completion time, and implementing agency to serve as a basis for urging, checking, monitoring, and evaluating.
