Lax management leads to "circumventing the law" to have a third child
(Baonghean.vn) - The idea of "allowing the birth of a third child or more" has emerged, leading to lax leadership and direction. The phenomenon of "circumventing the law" to give birth to a third child or more, such as fake divorces, fake medical records, and adoption, still occurs.
On the morning of June 11, under the chairmanship of comrade Le Minh Thong - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, the Provincial People's Committee held a meeting and gave opinions on the draft Directive of the Provincial Party Standing Committee on strengthening, leading and directing the implementation of population and development work in Nghe An province.

Directive No. 09/CT/TU of the Provincial Party Committee on strengthening leadership and direction in implementing Resolution No. 20-NQ/TU dated June 26, 2009 on continuing to promote population and family planning work in the new situation has been implemented since 2012, bringing about many practical results.
However, at present, the issuance of the new Directive is necessary because Nghe An has not yet reached the replacement level of fertility, with a large population, ranking 4th in the country. During the implementation process, the idea of "allowing the birth of a third child or more" has appeared, leading to lax leadership and direction. The phenomenon of "circumventing the law" to give birth to a third child or more, such as fake divorces, fake medical records, and adoption, still occurs.
Regarding this issue, at the meeting, many opinions were contributed, revolving around amending the contents related to handling violations against cadres, Party members, and grassroots Party organizations with cadres violating population policy.

Commenting on this issue, comrade Le Minh Thong affirmed: The introduction of sanctions to handle violations of population policy is necessary and must be strictly implemented. However, the amendment process must be in accordance with legal documents. In addition, the sanctions must be close to reality, focusing on areas where the rate of giving birth to a third child or more is still high. The implementation process must clearly assign tasks and thoroughly disseminate them to each facility and promote the exemplary role of each cadre and party member.

Also in the morning, delegates gave their opinions on the Project to merge the Population - Family Planning Center into the Health Centers in districts, towns and cities in Nghe An province.
According to the draft project, after the merger, 139 staff members of the existing District Population and Family Planning Center will be transferred to the district health center for management; 7-14 administrative and accounting staff will be considered for transfer to the district general hospital in the area; 473 Population and Family Planning staff of communes, wards and towns will be transferred to the commune, ward and town health stations for management; 6,739 Population and Family Planning collaborators in villages and hamlets will be reduced due to overlapping functions and duties with village and hamlet health workers.
Commenting on this content, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee affirmed: Merging the Population - Family Planning Centers into the Health Centers in districts, cities and towns is a necessary task. However, currently, due to the lack of specific instructions from the Ministry, the Department of Health needs to get opinions from relevant departments and branches before implementing. In the process of developing the project, it is necessary to closely follow the reality of each locality, the arrangement of the apparatus must depend on the practical situation, not be rigid according to the capacity of each individual.
The merger must be effective on the basis of reducing the number of focal points, streamlining the payroll, and saving the budget. He also requested that during the merger process, the staff of civil servants and population collaborators must not be disrupted so as not to affect the ideology, psychology, emotions, and the activities of the province's population work.
