As for voter Luong Dinh Lan, he asked the delegates to convey the idea that people with health insurance should be allowed to access provincial-level medical examination and treatment. Because currently, at the district level, there are still certain limitations in medical examination and treatment for the people.

Voter Ngo Thi Loan suggested that the National Assembly should consider regulating the school construction fund as before because the social mobilization has not achieved high results.

Referring to the work of fighting corruption, Mr. Phan Dinh Trac affirmed the principle: Cadres who are disciplined by the Party does not mean excluding criminal handling.

Violations that are serious enough to be subject to criminal handling must be handled criminally. Party discipline must come first, and create conditions and favorable conditions for the investigation agency to further handle the case.
