According to the City People's Committee, the coordination in implementing Resolution No. 98/2023/QH15 within the city's state agencies and with units under the ministries and central agencies is increasingly close and continues to be improved. The focus on implementing Resolution No. 98/2023/QH15 of the National Assembly has received the attention and direction of the Government, the Prime Minister continues to promote the basic removal of difficulties and limitations. A number of mechanisms and policies have been realized, improving the capacity of State management in the city such as: establishing the first Department of Food Safety in the country; promoting decentralization and authorization to the People's Committees at the district level, especially Thu Duc City, gradually perfecting the model of the first city directly under the city in the country; project on the structure and number of cadres, civil servants, and non-professional workers in wards, communes, and towns according to population size, economic activities, and local characteristics.
Regarding the shortcomings and limitations in implementing Resolution No. 98/2023/QH15, the City People's Committee also acknowledged that some implementation tasks have not been completed on schedule due to being related to many fields, requiring coordination with specialized departments, branches and sectors and consulting with central ministries and sectors, and submitting to the Government for consideration. Specifically, the Government's Decrees are slow to be issued, such as: decentralization of management; investment in the form of BT; the implementation of the City People's Council's Resolutions in departments, branches, districts and towns is still slow.
Some agencies have not promptly assigned focal officers to monitor the general implementation, monitoring, execution and consultation of Resolution No. 98/2023/QH15, so information and coordination work sometimes does not ensure the general requirements and progress.
