Regarding the content of regulating monitoring activities, comrade Nguyen Nam Dinh - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council expressed his opinion: Regarding the implementation method, it is necessary to base on the content agreed by the Standing Committee in monitoring activities, especially thematic monitoring prioritized by the Standing Committee because it will be submitted to the Provincial People's Council meeting to issue a resolution.

Thus, the Provincial People's Council Committees can change the form from supervision to survey, then if problems are discovered, they can request the Standing Committee to establish a specialized supervision team.

The Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council also emphasized: The composition of the monitoring delegations must be compact and if necessary, other delegates can be invited to participate. The monitoring program must be flexible and can be monitored directly or through reports.

Regarding the content of the two monitoring programs, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Council specifically directed the composition of the delegation, as well as the implementation methods. Especially regarding the implementation method, if the subjects being monitored are near Vinh City, they can be invited to the Provincial People's Council headquarters to conduct monitoring; and the process of monitoring at the grassroots level needs to consider a compact and reasonable composition, and can be divided into groups for monitoring to ensure effectiveness.

Regarding the development of a monitoring plan for the above two topics, the head of the Provincial People's Council also requested to ensure specific scope and content, identify the correct subjects to be monitored and surveyed, and have a clear schedule.

Agreeing to add a list of 8 resolutions to be submitted to the Provincial People's Council in 2022, however, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Council assessed that this proposed addition reflects that the advisory departments of the Provincial People's Committee have not fully grasped the reference documents as the process must be approved by the Provincial People's Council.

Therefore, the Standing Committee of the People's Council requested the Provincial People's Committee Office to advise the Provincial People's Committee leaders to preside, listen to the advice and reports of the branches to avoid repeating the shortcomings that led to the request to supplement the list of resolutions to be issued; thereby also highlighting the responsibility and early initiative of the departments and branches in this work.

The preparation of the draft resolution to be submitted to the Provincial People's Council session needs to pay attention to ensuring the form, content and process so that the promulgated policy is feasible and soon comes into life.

In the near future, the Office of the National Assembly Delegation - Provincial People's Council and the Office of the Provincial People's Committee will sign a coordination regulation. The Chairman of the Provincial People's Council proposed that the regulation must ensure the work of reviewing and submitting the list of resolutions issued by the Provincial People's Committee to the Provincial People's Council closely; at the same time, it is necessary to report monthly to the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council the list of draft resolutions prepared and the preparation progress; the results of handling voters' opinions and recommendations instead of 6 months as at present.
