Recently, Hai Duong province has implemented the merger of communes and wards to streamline the apparatus and improve the efficiency of administrative management. However, if the merger is not strictly organized, it can cause disruption, affecting people's daily life, access to public services and handling administrative procedures.
In response to the recommendations of union members and workers on the rearrangement of the system of administrative headquarters, schools, health stations and community activity points after the merger, Hai Duong province has given specific feedback.
Accordingly, in order to prepare for the merger, the provincial People's Committee has directed the Department of Finance to coordinate with districts and towns and cities to review the entire existing system system in the area. According to the project of arranging communal administrative units in 2025, the total number of existing offices is 220.
After the arrangement, the province will retain 117 headquarters, including 11 district-level headquarters and 106 commune-level headquarters. The retained headquarters were selected based on criteria such as central location, convenient transportation and infrastructure in accordance with the province's long-term development orientation.
Regarding 103 surplus headquarters not used as administrative headquarters, the province has a specific handling plan: 85 headquarters will be converted to serve health, education, and community activities purposes; the remaining 18 headquarters will be transferred to the Land Fund Development Center for management and exploitation in accordance with the provisions of law.
The People's Committee of Hai Duong province will continue to update and complete the plan to arrange headquarters and public works to ensure the most convenience for people, while being consistent with the province's long-term development plan.
Rearranging the administrative headquarters system and community service facilities reasonably not only helps streamline the apparatus but also improves service quality, contributing to minimizing difficulties for people in the process of merging communes and wards.
