Some opinions shared experiences on the methods and forms of implementing supervision, which need to focus on linking survey activities to each subject affected by the contents and issues being monitored, in order to ensure a comprehensive and basic grasp of the monitoring content; and to have a multi-dimensional and sharp perspective and assessment to make specific conclusions and recommendations. The more detailed and specific the supervision conclusions and recommendations are, the more the agencies and units under supervision have a basis for resolution and correction.

Along with the above contents, many opinions are also interested in discussing the determination of the members participating in the monitoring team; monitoring methods; linking monitoring with instructions and reminders to state management agencies at all levels and monitoring subjects to properly implement legal regulations during the implementation and deployment process.

The monitoring results report must ensure objectivity and specificity; clarify the existence, limitations, and causes, with data and documents to prove it; in particular, the recommendations must be specific and have a deadline for implementation and correction so that agencies and units have a basis for implementation.

After supervision, it is necessary to regularly monitor the implementation of recommendations and solutions; on that basis, re-supervise issues that are slow to be implemented and resolved; and at the same time, impose sanctions on units that are slow to implement through exercising the authority to vote for confidence in positions elected by the People's Council twice per term.
