Lack of specialized staff in some localities

Regarding the allocation of cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers from the district level to communes and wards, Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Truong Viet Dung affirmed that this work has been implemented in accordance with the order and direction of the Central Government.

The allocation of education sector officials has been completed and ensured the correct orientation of the Steering Committee for the arrangement of administrative units at all levels and the construction of a two-level organizational model. The team of teachers and staff working at kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools in the new communes and wards has been arranged stably, without disruption.

Since July 1, the city has instructed communes and wards to issue decisions to reorganize public service units, including the education sector, and has issued decisions on the work of school leaders and managers. The schools have been reissued new seals by the City Police, ensuring continuous operation. Up to now, enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year in the new areas has been carried out normally.

Regarding the allocation of medical staff and contract workers to work at commune health stations, before June 30, the People's Committees of districts and towns had transferred operating conditions from health centers to health stations. By July 1, the People's Committees of communes and wards issued decisions to establish health stations and appoint leadership positions. The city has issued decisions to mobilize civil servants and workers to work at health stations, ensuring that all activities of primary care, examination and treatment for people are maintained without interruption.

Regarding the arrangement of civil servants, public employees, and workers to work in specialized departments and public service units of the commune, the Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee said that this is done according to the principle of maintaining the current payroll status, allocating appropriately to job positions and training levels, and in the short term ensuring a stable and undisturbed organizational structure. In the long term, the City People's Committee will review and rearrange in a streamlined and efficient direction, based on the central payroll standards and current legal regulations.

“With the general principle of harmonious and reasonable arrangement, with the transfer of cadres from surplus units to deficient units, balancing the staffing and workload according to the local characteristics, the city will continue to closely direct, remove difficulties, and provide specific instructions so that the merged communes and wards can quickly operate stably and effectively, meeting the requirements and tasks in the new situation,” said the Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee.

The City People's Committee has transferred civil servants and public employees from the district level to the commune level according to the principle of balance and harmony, with priority given to supplementing personnel for communes with rapid urbanization. However, due to the limited human resources specialized in construction investment management at district-level project management boards, arranging enough professional staff for commune-level project management boards is still difficult.

To overcome this, the city has directed the mobilization of a number of civil servants with appropriate expertise to strengthen commune-level project management boards. In the coming time, when the two-level local government model operates stably and the central government's regulations are amended, Hanoi will consider approving autonomy projects for commune-level project management boards, ensuring that the organizational model and staffing are perfected, and that personnel are fully recruited according to job positions, meeting practical requirements.

According to the current organizational model, commune and ward levels have 3 specialized departments, including: Office; Department of Culture - Society; Department of Economy (for communes), or Department of Economy - Infrastructure - Urban (for wards). Each specialized department is responsible for an average of 5 specialized fields, while the allocated staff is still limited, leading to a shortage of specialized staff in some localities.

Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Truong Viet Dung said that Hanoi has initially implemented a special process to receive civil servants, supplementing civil servants for the fields of education, culture and health. Up to now, more than 100 cases have been received and assigned to specialized departments at the commune and ward levels since July 1. At the same time, the city is continuing to review and balance resources between the Party, Fatherland Front and government blocs to mobilize appropriately; studying plans to increase personnel from specialized departments and branches to support the grassroots, especially in areas lacking staff.
