Accordingly, in addition to the achieved results, the Prime Minister assessed that the work of preventing and combating waste in many areas still exists and is limited, typically the mechanism for allocating and disbursing public investment capital is still inadequate, reducing the efficiency of using state resources; the management and use of public assets still has many limitations.

In addition, mechanisms, policies and legal regulations are still overlapping, not synchronized and have not been promptly resolved; the labor market develops slowly, labor, salary and social security policies are not complete, there are many shortcomings in implementation; attracting and using talents is not effective, there is a shortage of high-quality human resources...

To overcome shortcomings and limitations, strictly implement the Party's guidelines and policies, legal regulations, and directions of the Government and Prime Minister on waste prevention and control, contributing to unlocking resources and promoting economic growth, the Prime Minister requested Ministers, Heads of ministerial-level agencies, Government agencies, other central agencies, Chairmen of People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities to focus on resolutely and effectively implementing tasks and solutions.

Specifically, the Prime Minister requested ministries, central and local agencies to identify waste prevention and control as a common task of the entire political system, requiring the participation and responsible contribution of all ministries, branches and localities.

The work of preventing and combating waste must be clearly demonstrated through commitments, plans, with progress, specific targets, focusing on thoroughly solving the causes of waste and must be carried out regularly. The implementation plan must ensure 5 clarity (clear people, clear work, clear progress, clear responsibility, clear results).

Linking waste prevention and control work with the implementation of the economic growth target of over 8% in 2025 and double-digit economic growth in the 2026-2030 period, and identifying the results obtained from waste prevention and control work as an important resource to promote growth drivers.

Regarding the improvement of institutions, policies and laws in the fields of socio-economic management and waste prevention and control, the Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Finance to draft the Law on Thrift and Waste Prevention to submit to the National Assembly for comments and approval at the 10th Session of the 15th National Assembly (October).

This is to create a legal basis for monitoring, inspection, detection, and strong handling with high deterrence against wasteful behavior, but without losing the motivation of cadres who dare to innovate, dare to think, dare to do, and dare to take responsibility for the common good, not for personal gain.

At the same time, urgently synthesize opinions of ministries and branches to complete the National Strategy on Waste Prevention and Control, and report to the Prime Minister for approval in March 2025.

In addition, according to the Prime Minister, it is necessary to review and amend and supplement regulations on socio-economic management mechanisms that are no longer suitable, focusing on areas prone to waste such as: State budget management, public assets; construction; land, resources, minerals, energy; credit, banking; organizational apparatus...

The Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Finance to coordinate with the Government Office to closely monitor, synthesize periodic reports, and promptly propose measures to handle units and individuals who are slow and do not seriously implement. For projects that are still pending or have been suspended for a long time, which have been reported by ministries and localities, it is necessary to promptly synthesize, clarify the groups of causes, handling plans, and handle them with competent authorities to resolve them completely, put them into operation soon, and use the projects to promote investment efficiency, and not to continue wasting the resources of the State and the People.

Notably, the Prime Minister assigned the Government Inspectorate to complete the inspection conclusion on the investment project to build the second facility of Bach Mai Hospital and the second facility of Viet Duc Friendship Hospital in Ha Nam province before March 31, 2025.

The Government Inspectorate is also assigned to direct and organize the implementation of specialized inspections in a number of areas of management and use of economic resources, focusing on a number of areas that are likely to cause great loss and waste to handle violations, while at the same time strongly warning and deterring other ministries and local branches in the effective management and use of financial resources and public assets.

At the same time, the Prime Minister requested ministries, central and local agencies to thoroughly implement the task of radical reform, minimizing administrative procedures and compliance costs for people and businesses.

Promote decentralization and delegation of authority, combined with strengthening supervision, inspection and supervision in handling administrative procedures to reduce intermediary levels, ending the situation of prolonging the handling time through many agencies and units. Strictly implement the announcement, publicity, transparency and completeness of administrative procedures, digitization of records and results of handling administrative procedures according to regulations.

Accelerate the implementation of interconnected online public service groups, prioritize reviewing and restructuring the integrated process, providing on the National Public Service Portal; strictly implement the timely, complete and accurate announcement and disclosure of administrative procedures according to regulations; 100% of administrative procedure records must be received and resolved on the Administrative Procedure Resolution Information System at the ministerial and provincial levels and synchronized with the National Public Service Portal. Accelerate the implementation of Project 06 at all levels, sectors and localities.

Ministries, central and local agencies also need to accelerate the application of digital technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data in management and supervision; at the same time, synchronize digital infrastructure and connect data systems between agencies to avoid the situation where each unit operates a separate system.

The Prime Minister requested to strengthen coordination, share data, build a joint processing process between ministries, branches, and localities, and have a close monitoring mechanism between government levels to avoid group interests, cover-up of violations, and affecting the effectiveness of state management.

Inspection, auditing and investigation agencies, as requested by the Prime Minister, must coordinate closely and proactively intervene as soon as signs of violations are detected, not allowing them to drag on, causing waste and public outrage.
