Through the inspection of the implementation of administrative reform work at the departments and offices of the District People's Committee and the two communes of Ngoc Son and Quynh Chau, the inspection team of the Department of Home Affairs pointed out that a number of agencies, professional bodies, and public service units of the district have not been active in directing and guiding the grassroots; there are no new solutions or initiatives in administrative reform work.

Some procedures are still handled at specialized departments, and there are still redundant documents in the processing of documents, causing delays in processing. Some departments still issue regulations on the functions and tasks of specialized departments according to old regulations, etc.
