The use of non-professional workers at the commune level shall be terminated; and they shall be arranged to participate in activities in residential areas.

Before the arrangement and merger, the 3 provinces had 32 district-level administrative units (including 4 cities, 1 town and 27 districts); 479 communes, wards and towns (42 wards, 40 towns and 397 communes).

The arrangement of the staff of civil servants and public employees after the merger of Phu Tho, Vinh Phuc and Hoa Binh provinces must ensure that the total number of staff does not exceed the total number of staff of the three provinces before the merger. The streamlining of the payroll must be associated with the restructuring of the staff, improving the quality and efficiency of public service performance, in accordance with the requirements of organizational model innovation, and within the five-year roadmap, the arrangement must be basically completed in accordance with regulations.
