One of the issues that many voters and people are interested in was questioned by the 20th Session of the 18th Provincial People's Council to the Director of the Department of Finance: The management, use and effective promotion of surplus public assets still have many limitations, especially in handling public assets such as surplus real estate facilities after merging villages, communes and public service units; medical equipment, vocational education equipment.

Responding to the question-and-answer session on the afternoon of July 9, Director of the Department of Finance Nguyen Van Tu said: After the arrangement of commune-level administrative units (Us) in the 2019-2021 period and the arrangement of public service units, the whole province has 537 surplus houses and land. Of which, there are 457 surplus houses and land after merging commune-level and village-level administrative units and 80 surplus houses and land due to merging public service units.
Currently, the number of surplus facilities after the merger has been approved by the Provincial People's Committee Chairman for a plan of 455/537 facilities. In which, the approved forms of rearrangement and handling of housing and land facilities include: Transferring 83 facilities; recovering 17 facilities; selling assets on land, transferring land use rights of 193 facilities; transferring 142 facilities to local management and handling; temporarily retaining 20 facilities. The number of housing and land facilities that have not been approved for a plan is 82/537 facilities, which are surplus medical stations after the merger of public service providers in districts, towns and cities.
Up to now, the approval of the transfer to local management and handling of 142 facilities according to the approved plan has been completed; 5/83 facilities have been transferred; 1/17 facilities (cultural houses) have been recovered; the decision to sell and the plan to auction assets for 1 facility, the old Tho Xuan town People's Committee office, has been approved.

Answering questions from delegates Do Ngoc Duy, Trinh Thi Hoa, Dinh Ngoc Thuy, Hoang Anh Tuan... about the causes, responsibilities and solutions to overcome the slow rearrangement and handling of surplus real estate assets after the merger, Director of the Department of Finance Nguyen Van Tu said: The slow rearrangement and handling of surplus real estate assets has many causes. Objectively, Thanh Hoa is a locality with a very large number of houses and land that need to be rearranged, a large area, many houses and land still lack legal basis, so it is very difficult to implement. Legal regulations on rearrangement and handling of houses and land according to the provisions of the Law on Management and Use of Public Assets, the Land Law and guiding documents for implementation still have many shortcomings; regulations are not specific and clear. In the period of 2019-2022, the outbreak of COVID-19 has affected the implementation of inspections of the current status of houses and land in the province to establish, appraise and approve plans. Therefore, the rearrangement and handling of housing and land facilities did not achieve progress according to the set plan.

In addition to objective causes, the Director of the Department of Finance also emphasized the subjective causes from the lack of determination and initiative of districts, towns and cities in implementing Plan No. 69/KH-UBND of the Provincial People's Committee. The rearrangement and handling of houses and land of agencies, organizations and units depends on the progress of reviewing, adjusting and updating planning, land use plans, construction planning and other related plans. However, the work of reviewing and updating planning, land use plans, construction planning and other related plans is still slow. The monitoring of public assets has not been focused on for many years, when reviewing and formulating new plans, many shortcomings were discovered, especially legal documents, so the implementation process is still confusing, slow, and does not ensure progress according to plan.
Delegate Trinh Thi Hoa questioned the Director of the Department of Finance (Photo: Minh Hieu).
The main responsibility for the slow implementation of the plan to rearrange and handle surplus real estate after the merger lies with the localities and units assigned to manage and use assets for their slow review of standards and norms for the use of public assets, and for their slow approval of land use planning and plans to serve as the basis for the plan to "sell assets on land and transfer land use rights". The Department of Finance, as the standing agency of the Provincial Steering Committee for the rearrangement and handling of real estate, also takes responsibility for not promptly urging localities and units to deploy and report on implementation results.
To overcome the slow situation of rearranging and handling surplus real estate assets after the merger, Director of the Department of Finance Nguyen Van Tu said that the Party Committee, district-level authorities, and heads of units must identify the rearrangement and handling of public assets as one of the important political tasks of the locality and unit. Based on the plan being submitted or approved by the Provincial People's Committee, the District People's Committee directs relevant units to continue reviewing surplus public assets at the commune and district levels, carefully assessing the feasibility of handling each public asset according to the approved plan or being submitted for approval. For public assets that have fully met the conditions for implementation according to the approved plan, the focus will be on directing the development of specific plans for each asset for implementation. For public assets that have been reviewed and are facing difficulties in procedures, the District People's Committee must direct the removal of difficulties and report to competent authorities for guidance on implementation.
