Progress in implementing some recovery projects is still slow.

The total number of supported workers is 2,974 people; of which, 2,627 workers are working in enterprises and 347 workers have returned to the labor market. The total amount paid to beneficiaries is 4,329 billion VND.
Regarding the implementation of projects under the Socio-Economic Recovery and Development Program, Nghe An benefits from 3 projects in the health sector, including the project to build, upgrade, and renovate 8 general hospitals and district-level medical centers; the project to invest in purchasing equipment for the Provincial Center for Disease Control (CDC); the project to invest in purchasing equipment for 28 general hospitals and district-level medical centers.

Compared to the requirements for implementing projects under the recovery program, the progress of implementing projects in the health sector is still behind schedule.
At the meeting, National Assembly delegates from Nghe An delegation raised many concerns in the process of implementing the National Assembly's socio-economic recovery program.
The most concerning issue is the slow progress of projects in the health sector; in addition to the objective reasons in the appraisal stage of the Ministry of Health and the refusal of the consulting unit to implement, the appraisal stage in provincial departments and branches has not really focused on speeding up the progress. Delegates suggested that it is necessary to analyze and clarify the reasons for the slowness and where the slowness is in order to find solutions together.
Regarding the implementation of the policy to support housing rent for workers, some opinions are concerned about whether the policy's propaganda and dissemination work has been effective in reaching all beneficiaries and ensuring the rights of workers.
