At the meeting, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council evaluated and learned from the organization of the 8th session of the 17th Provincial People's Council, term 2016 - 2021.

Accordingly, the meeting completed the proposed program and content and met the requirements of innovation and improving the quality of the meeting.

In many sectors, in addition to the Director, there are also Deputy Directors and experts attending the group discussion session to promptly inform and explain issues raised by the Provincial People's Council delegates.

In the question and answer session, in addition to the main accountability of the presiding sectors, many related sectors also participated in clarifying many issues questioned by the Provincial People's Council delegates.

The organization of the vote of confidence for positions elected by the Provincial People's Council was carried out in accordance with the correct procedure and the voting results reflected objectivity and reality.

According to Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Hoang Viet Duong, preparations for the session were closely coordinated, from organizing meetings with voters of the Provincial People's Council delegates; synthesizing voters' recommendations and feedback as well as issues of public concern; preparing reports and draft resolutions to be submitted to the session.

However, the delegates attending the meeting also frankly raised some limitations that need to be learned from. According to Phan Duc Dong, Head of the Provincial People's Council's Legal Committee, the sending of reports and draft resolutions of the Provincial People's Committee and branches to the Provincial People's Council Committees is still slow, only 1-2 days before the examination, creating difficulties and concerns in participating deeply in the examination issues.

According to comrade Nguyen Thi Thu Huong - Head of the Culture - Social Committee of the Provincial People's Council, the explanations and answers of the sectors at the question and answer session were still long, not close to the content and there were situations of evasion, even the resolution of voters' recommendations was not close.

Therefore, it is necessary to review and evaluate the responsibility of departments and branches in handling voters' recommendations to ensure the improvement of the quality of this task, contributing to reducing "hot spots" and frustrations among the people.

Supervise the settlement of voters' petitions

At the meeting, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council also assessed the results of activities in December 2018, deployed tasks in January 2019 and discussed the work program and supervision content of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council in 2019.

Concluding the meeting, Vice Chairwoman of the Provincial People's Council Cao Thi Hien requested the Provincial People's Committee to pay attention to urging departments, branches and localities to resolve voters' petitions more drastically, avoiding the situation where when the Provincial People's Council requests a report or supervision, the response is not resolved.

On the other hand, the Provincial People's Committee also needs to urge branches and localities to promptly and effectively implement the resolutions issued by the Provincial People's Council as well as the Notice of conclusion of the questioning of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council, creating positive movements from the issues decided by the Provincial People's Council.
