Giving opinions at the meeting, comrade Pham Thi Hong Toan - Member of the Provincial Party Executive Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper, said that the supervision topic this time proposed by the Provincial People's Council has a wide content and scope of supervision, so to ensure quality supervision activities, it is recommended that the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council clearly identify each key area for each typical supervision content, avoiding spreading.For example, monitoring the content of compliance with environmental protection laws in the areas of Quy Hop, Hoang Mai, Nghia Dan...; or monitoring the implementation of policies and regimes for workers in the areas of Vinh city, Nghi Loc - where there are many businesses and fields where the implementation of policies for workers has long had some emerging issues.

In addition, Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper Pham Thi Hong Toan suggested adding more content that needs to be monitored, including awareness of compliance with environmental protection laws in medical facilities, including the need to pay attention to the operation of wastewater treatment systems in hospitals that ensure proper procedures and regulations; the effectiveness of pollution treatment at pesticide residue locations, etc.

The Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper also affirmed that Nghe An Newspaper will accompany the Provincial People's Council in publishing a number of articles of a "pre-inspection" nature before the supervision, and at the same time closely follow to reflect and promptly inform the activities of the supervision team.

In reality, many environmental pollution issues have been reflected and re-reflected by voters in many localities through many meetings with voters. Director of the provincial Radio and Television Station Nguyen Nhu Khoi said that in order to ensure sufficient information for monitoring activities, before conducting monitoring, the Provincial People's Council needs to systematize the opinions and recommendations of voters in each locality related to the monitoring contents.

At the same time, during the monitoring process, it is necessary to "extract" voters' opinions and request agencies, units, and localities with State management functions and investors and enterprises to clarify how to overcome and resolve voters' opinions and recommendations.

Concluding the meeting, Vice Chairwoman of the Provincial People's Council Cao Thi Hien emphasized that the issues of environmental pollution, labor safety and hygiene, and the implementation of policies for workers have long been inadequate and limited, and have received many comments and recommendations from voters.

However, detecting and overcoming these problems is still very difficult. Based on that reality, the Provincial People's Council chose to organize this thematic supervision.

To ensure quality supervision activities, in addition to coordinating with relevant departments, branches, agencies and units, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council also hopes that Nghe An Newspaper and the Provincial Radio and Television Station will coordinate and accompany the Provincial People's Council in disseminating information before, during and after supervision, especially through journalistic expertise to detect shortcomings and limitations in State management as well as the awareness of law compliance of organizations, units and enterprises, on that basis, make recommendations to all levels and sectors to solve practical problems, while contributing to improving the quality of supervision activities in particular and the quality of activities of the Provincial People's Council in general.
