* At the meetings in Kien Thuy and Tien Lang communes, voters in all localities agreed that the implementation of the Party and State's policy on streamlining the apparatus and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the political system has been seriously implemented. The administrative apparatus operates more effectively, creating initiative in management and operation. The arrangement of staff is basically suitable for professional qualifications, capacity and strengths, contributing to improving the efficiency of work handling. Coordination between specialized departments has been improved, limiting the previous duplication and overlap. In particular, the Commune-level Public Administration Service Center has made an important contribution to improving the quality of service to people and businesses.

Besides, delegates also contributed ideas to help the two-level government operate smoothly and effectively, contributing significantly to saving resources of the state and people.

Voter Vu Ngoc Ngung, Tan Minh commune, proposed that the National Assembly study and promulgate comprehensive policies and mechanisms on organizational structure, payroll and human resource structure. Along with that, the Central Government should develop appropriate salary and remuneration policies to attract talents and retain highly qualified civil servants working at the grassroots level; at the same time, allocate resources to invest in digital infrastructure, equipment and modern facilities for the Commune-level Public Administration Service Center, contributing to building a professional administration that operates effectively, efficiently and effectively to serve the people and businesses better and better.

Voter Do Duc Minh, Head of the Economic Department of Nghi Duong Commune, said that the implementation of streamlining the payroll according to the Government's decrees has led to a reduction in the number of civil servants, while the workload and nature of the work are increasingly large, requiring high expertise. Some specific fields such as culture, information, science and technology, land, construction... are lacking specialized human resources, affecting the quality and progress of work.

Voters of Nghi Duong commune proposed that the National Assembly, the Government and the city continue to research, adjust and issue specific policies to improve the living standards and motivate the staff serving public administration to contribute. Relevant agencies continue to review, supplement, adjust and increase the number of positions in accordance with the practical requirements of state management at the commune level after the merger, meeting the requirements of long-term tasks and avoiding work overload.

On behalf of the Hai Phong City National Assembly Delegation, National Assembly Delegate Nguyen Hong Dien, Minister of Industry and Trade; National Assembly Delegate Do Manh Hien, Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, received opinions and suggestions from local voters, and expressed their respect for the valuable contributions of voters during the operation of the 15th City National Assembly Delegation. This is an important factor that helps the Delegation propose to the National Assembly and central agencies to pass many important Resolutions for Hai Phong. These resolutions are the lever to promote the city's economic and social development, especially the marine economy. Members of the Hai Phong National Assembly Delegation also acknowledged and received voters' opinions and will report at the 10th Session of the 15th National Assembly.
