BASIS OF LARGE-SCALED INSPECTION BY THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTORATE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOCIAL POLICIES 1.1 Definitions related to the theme 1.1.1 Inspection and large-scaled inspection 1.1.1.1 Inspection The nature of inspection is always associated with the State management Therefore, under the current Inspection Law, “State inspection is to consider, evaluate and handle under the statutory sequence and procedure stipulated by the competent State authority on the implementation of policies, laws, tasks and rights of the agencies, organizations and individuals State inspection includes administrative inspection and specialized inspection” As such, it can be understood that: Inspection is a type of activity, a function of the State management, conducted by the competent management entity, on behalf of the State power in order to influence the object of management Based on considering and evaluating advantages and disadvantages, bringing into full play the positive factor, preventing and handling violations Contributing to accomplishing the management mechanism, enhancing the socialist legal system, protecting the State interest, legal rights and interests of the agencies, organizations and citizens 1.1.1.2 Large-scaled inspection “Large-scaled inspection is the form of direct inspection by the State inspection organizations on a large scale under the guidance by the competent State management levels in order to clarify advantages and disadvantages in management, operate, observe socioeconomic issues for the State macro management (object of adjustment and scope of adjustment of decision, inspection directive and impact of conclusion and recommendation after inspection on a large scale, macro management significance)” [58, 475] 1.1.1.3 Differentiation of large-scaled inspection and smallscaled inspection; large-scaled inspection by the Government Inspectorate and major inspection by the Ministry, sector 1.1.2 Social policies Social policies mean the State institutionalization of guidelines and viewpoints by the Communist Party of Vietnam on solving social issues related to person, group of persons or all residential communities in order to develop people, for the people, establish the social equity, social order and safety, make social development and progress right in each step and development accuracy, fulfill well obligations, devote and enjoy, create stronger and more sustainable for the socioeconomic development Focusing on solving urgent social issues 1.2 Large-scaled inspection in the implementation of social policies 1.2.1 Definition of large-scaled inspection in the implementation of social policies Large-scaled inspection over social policies is the form of direct inspection by the State Inspection agencies, on large scale, under the guidance of the competent State management levels, over social policies in order to clarify advantages and disadvantages in planning, exercising policies, managing the implementation of policies, operating, observing the implementation of social policies, the issues arising during the realization of policies for the State macro management 1.2.2 Role of large-scaled inspection in the implementation of social policies Large-scaled inspection over social policies contributes to establishing the clear, effective and efficient State apparatus Large-scaled inspection over social policies also contributes to considering the efficiency of the State management on the policy implementation Large-scaled inspection over social policies is of great importance in preventing, detecting and handling illegal acts in general and in implementing social policies in particular 1.2.3 The relationship between large-scaled inspection and social policies Under the administration management cycle, inspection is a vital step in order to consider, evaluate and handle the implementation of policies, laws and tasks by the agencies, organizations and individuals within management competence Large-scaled inspection is a form of inspection and serves as the controlling tool with the State power for the policy implementation 1.3 Comparison of organizational structure and inspection of Vietnam and those of some countries in the world 1.3.1 Organizational structure and inspection of some countries in the world 1.3.1.1 Parliament Inspectorate It is the common model in Nordic countries, South America countries and some other countries Sweden and Denmark are the countries that established such organization the earliest in the early 20th century Parliament Inspectorate is the agency of the Parliament that exercises supreme supervision of the power agency on the activities of executive and judicial agencies It operates in the principle of independence and complies only with the laws Agencies, organizations and individuals must not interfere with the activity of the Parliament Inspectorate 1.3.1.2 Administrative inspectorate and supervisor This is a relatively common model in Asian and African countries such as China, Korea, Laos and Egypt 1.3.1.3 Specialized inspectorate It is established in the ministries and sectors with the State management function and designed to Inspect, check the compliance with the laws on the issues within the management scope of such ministries or sectors The specialized Inspectorate is under the direct guidance and management of the Minister This model is relatively common in most countries such as France, Egypt, US and UK 1.3.2 Comparison of organizational structure and inspection of Vietnam and those of some countries in the world Through research and comparison in terms of organizational model, inspection activity, large-scaled inspection of Vietnam and those of some countries in the world, it can be seen that: at present, in the World, there exists Inspectorate models (Parliament Inspectorate, Administrative Supervision Inspectorate and Specialized Inspectorate) These three organizations have similarities and differences with the Administrative Inspectorate and the Specialized Inspectorate of Vietnam In particular, the model of Administration Supervision Inspectorate and the model of Parliament Inspectorate of Nordic countries and some Asian countries; Egypt have no largescaled Inspection For the organizational system and activity of specialized inspectorate in Vietnam, like the specialized inspectorate of these countries and large-scaled inspectorate in Vietnam, they are organized by the Government Inspectorate, guided by the Prime Minister and must not handle administrative violation CONCLUSION OF CHAPTER For the social policies to be developed and put into life effectively, avoid restrictions and shortcomings, the State management on social affairs or in the implementation of social The inspection process is stipulated in the Circular No 02/2010/TT-TTCP dated 02/03/2010 by the Government Inspectorate, including 03 phases: Preparation; Performance and Completion 2.2 Existing condition of large-scaled inspection in the implementation of social policies 2.2.1 Existing condition of large-scaled inspection in the implementation of priority policies for the merit people Under the guidance of the Inspector-General, the inspection was conducted in 59 out of 61 provinces and cities and Ministries (Ministry of National Defense, Ministry of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs) and it was found that 7,340 dossiers of the wounded soldiers and policy beneficiaries who die a long time ago still received allowance as if they were living, 123 dossiers have false statement in terms of time, 192 dossiers have wrong injury ratio and other errors such as lack of original dossiers with 1,572 cases; 759 dossiers have wrong witnesses, 3,542 people have different errors Through the large-scaled inspection, the Government Inspectorate detected a wide range mistakes at grassroots level Apart from the effect of reorganizing the operation, compliance with the laws, the policies of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the State of Vietnam, large-scaled inspection by the Government Inspectorate on the implementation of priority policies for the merit people towards the revolution has consolidated the people’s confidence in the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Government of Vietnam 2.2.2 Existing condition of large-scaled inspection in the implementation of Social insurance - Health insurance policies The result of inspection over social insurance shows that: Total revenue of social insurance and health insurance from 2005 to 2009 is 165,843,599 million VND Fund growth investment activity: As at 31/12/2009, idle money of the social insurance fund is 107,435,176 million VND Total fund growth investment capital is 98,563,000 million VND Total fund growth amount from 01/01/2005 to 31/12/2009 is 27,718,722.08 million VND The result of mistake via 10 inspection in the provinces might be handled as follows: Payment into the State budget: 33,334.9 million VND, payment into the social insurance fund: 6,156,031.15 million VND Delayed payment or indebtedness of social insurance, especially in the enterprise block occupies a great rate Many enterprises have prolonged indebtedness or lack responsibility in paying health insurance for the employees The compliance with health insurance systems has some violations such as signing medical examination and treatment contracts, making coincident payments that are different from the reality, making prescriptions with wrong quantity of medicine and wrong price of medicine, not spontaneously enumerating medical examination and treatment expenses under the regulations with total violated money of 647,403.14 million VND The lending has some violations such as signing contracts with loose borrowing and paying time to the extent of paying debt prematurely when basic interest rate decreases; lending with interest rate lower than posted by the State Bank of Vietnam; lending with interest rate lower than posted by Vietnam Social Insurance at the same time and interest payment method by year, reducing loan interest with total amount of 104,972.67 million VND, reducing the fund growth investment efficiency under Article 96 of the Law on Social Insurance 2.2.3 Existing condition of large-scaled inspection in the implementation of the policies for natural resources and environmental protection, afforestation and poverty reduction policy Through the large-scaled inspection over the afforestation and poverty reduction program, it can be seen that the Dispersed investment and loose management have led to corruption and capital slack; the afforestation program has not yet been closely associated with the resettlement program and land and forest allocation guideline; therefore, the socioeconomic efficiency of the project is low Through the inspection by the Government Inspectorate and the Inspectorate of 39 provinces (cities), it is concluded that although the programs and projects receive the great attention and investment from the State, the unified guidance is absent and the integration between 11 programs remains limited The guidance, operation and capital use of the projects remain crumbled and dispersed Some programs and projects are invested and managed directly by the Central government, thus the locality fails to grasp the information, leading to the lack of coordination and guidance between the Central government and the local government Through the inspection in 43 provinces and cities, a mistake worth over 107 billion VND was initially detected, including: capital used for wrong purpose 21.7 billion VND; slack and loss over 6.6 billion VND; final settlement without pay 7.6 billion VND; wrong and insufficient payment for the people 1.4 billion VND; lending to wrong borrowers billion VND; corruption and appropriation 5.2 billion VND; transfer of capital for other purposes over 33.2 billion VND and other mistake over 22.5 billion VND In some places, project exhibits such as TV sets and radios were granted to wrong objects Through the inspection, 306 TV sets and 1,183 radios were detected as granted mainly to communal and district staffs, not to the project residents 2.2.4 Existing condition of large-scaled inspection in the implementation of health policies - For the pharmacy: Through the large-scaled inspection, the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Health pointed out main mistakes such as trading in prohibited medicine, non-trade medicine or expired medicine; storing medicine incorrectly; violating the regulations on managing medicine quality, listing medicine price insufficiently The violation handling money is nearly 500,000 million VND and more importantly, many other mistakes were detected, i.e the mistakes that directly affect the public health and life - Large-scaled inspection over the medical examination and treatment: Through checking the medical examination and treatment costs among 1,893,375 case records in 47 provinces and the Ministry of National Defense, the Inspectorate detected 472,796 case records with violations (occupying 24.97%); with total violated amount of 54,505.49 million VND, including: Making prescriptions with wrong medicine, wrong price; violating 12 health insurance cards with 309.33 million VND; other violations in health insurance with 38,845.81 million VND - Large-scaled inspection over health socialization policies: Common types of mistakes include Observing regulations on medical examination and treatment, making case records, making prescriptions: Many case records have no clear testing results; In terms of the pharmacist’ activities: No listing price, no ensuring dimensions; In terms of consultation: There is no consultation record but only consultation result is recorded in the case record; Waste classification is not observed properly; Many practice establishments have no correct signs, have no sufficient instruments and necessary facilities - Large-scaled inspection over the food safety and hygiene in order to protect public health: The Ministry of Health coordinated with other ministries, sectors and localities in 32 provinces and cities all over the country The summary inspection result is as follows: Total number of inspected establishments is 182,004; in which, 33,503 violating establishments are handled; 31,352 establishments are warned; 2151 establishments are fined; 237 establishments are closed temporarily; 1718 establishments have products recovered and destroyed and 13,831 establishments are reminded, regulated; total fine is 1,478 billion VND From the large-scaled inspection over the implementation of health insurance policies, we can see a wide range of mistakes from medical examination and treatment, food safety and hygiene, payment and implementation of health insurance system, procurement for medicine for medical examination and treatment, collection of money from health insurance patients, use of socialized services and collection of money for some services Through the large-scaled inspection, such mistakes can be detected Through the large-scaled inspection, many mistakes are detected in the field of managing, observing health policy and concurrently handling timely, contributing to minimizing violations in the field of health As such, to enhance the efficiency of managing and observing health policies, the large-scaled inspection plays a very important role, serves as the effective 13 controlling tool of the State management agencies in order to contribute to protecting and taking care of the public health 2.2.5 Existing condition of large-scaled inspection in the implementation of Education and training policies Through the large-scaled inspection in the implementation of the Education and training policies, many typical mistakes are detected in the procurement of education equipments It can be seen that the Ministry of Education and Training established the price option to submit to the Price Management Agency of the Ministry of Finance but not inspected and evaluated close to the market price; not yet studied, guided and trained in the procurement of equipment but assigned to the localities for implementation For training the teachers to use the equipment, that many Departments of Education and Training entrusted the contractors is not professional; Through inspection, the Inspectorate detected many economic mistakes that waste the State budget with 4.16 billion VND Economic mistake that must be cleared and recovered to pay into the State budget is 3.2 billion VND In short, the large-scaled inspection over education policies has contributed to controlling the feasibility of practical policies to put forth evaluations as basis for adjusting and planning policies, timely correcting and handling in order to achieve the general objective of the education policies, i.e targeting the people, doing for the people and enhancing human resources quality However, the implementation has certain restrictions in terms of management, supervision and inspection Therefore, mistakes are inevitable 2.2.6 Existing condition of large-scaled inspection in the implementation of Culture - Sport - Tourism policies - In terms of culture policies: In the field of culture, 30 inspections were conducted 28 violating establishments were detected and handled 22 establishments were recommended for handling administrative violations 06 establishments were warned - In terms of sport policy: In 2009, under the large-scaled inspection program by the Government Inspectorate, the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism conducted large-scaled 14 inspection over the implementation of sport policy with some sport limitations and shortcomings such as environmental protection, hygiene quality for the people to exercise their health are not compliant with the standard Besides, the inspection over the sport development policies detected the main mistake, namely unguaranteed investment in athletes, limited investment in the public sport facilities - In terms of tourist policy: Based on the inspection result by 17 Inspectorate Groups on the large-scaled inspection over the tourist development policies, 69 travel establishments were detected not observing the tourist policy target and it was decided to collect 500 million VND as administrative fine, recover business registration certificates of 04 establishments 2.3 Limitations, reasons and experience of large-scaled experience by the Government Inspectorate in the implementation of social policies 2.3.1 Limitations in the large-scaled inspection organization process 2.3.1.1 Survey, collection of initial information and documents 2.3.1.2 Establishment of the outline for professional guidance and training for the staff joined the Inspectorate Group and establishment of the inspection performance program 2.3.1.3 Establishment process of large-scaled Inspectorate Groups 2.3.1.4 Collection, inspection and verification of information and documents 2.3.1.5 Capacity, qualification, political quality, business ethics of the inspectors 2.3.1.6 Guidance, operation and coordination and combination between the Government Inspectorate and the leaders of ministries, sectors and localities 2.3.1.7 Summarization of results to complete the report and conclusion on inspection 2.3.1.8 Handling after inspection 2.3.2 Reasons for limitations in the large-scaled inspection 15 - First, the socialization trend of public sectors is more and more intensive and extensive, which leads to many changes in the social policies as well as management method - Second, the legal system of Vietnam in general remains inadequate, which leads to the difficulty in the application of laws upon inspection - Third, up to now we have not yet promulgated a standard process for the large-scaled inspection of the Government Inspectorate in the implementation of social policies - Forth, agencies, organizations, individuals or enterprises subject to inspection have paid attention to studying policies and laws during the fulfillment of their functions and tasks - Fifth, professional qualifications of the managers and inspectors still have certain limitations - Sixth, priority policies and working means of the staff, Inspectors have not met the requirement 2.3.3 Experiences withdrawn from the large-scaled inspection in the implementation of social policies - First, choosing the right urgent issue for the macro social policies and of public opinion for inspection is one of the basic conditions that decide on the success and importance of large-scaled inspection - Second, the coordination and unified guidance by the Government Inspectorate with the leaders of the closely related Ministries, sectors and agencies, one step in the preparation process, inspection process and handling after inspection are the factor that creates the unanimous strength from the Central government to the local government and contributes to enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the large-scaled inspection - Third, the establishment of the instructive outline and lists of related documents of the inspector must be specific, detailed, unified, methodological and scientific to help the profession, method and handling unified all over the country as well as meeting the requirements on time of inspection, object of inspection 16 - Forth, it is required to hold training for the staff and inspectors to inspect directly and report, summarize the result after inspection to the Government Inspector in order to unify the method of summarization, figures and evaluation - Fifth, attention must be paid when establishing the Government Inspectorate group and groups of localities, Ministries, sectors and working group of the Government Inspectorate and each locality, ministry and sector that have the function of summarizing and reporting the inspection result all over the country to send to the Government Inspectorate - Sixth, it is necessary to organize compact, united and qualified personnel to fulfill the task well - Seventh, the arrangement and assignment of group members must be suitable and based on the professional majors for the assigned task in order to promote and meet the requirements of the work and create the internal solidarity - Eighth, the method of organizing and assigning staff in the inspection contents must be compact, well-coordinated and able to promote the general strength - Ninth, the handling after inspection and during inspection must have unified evaluation and conclusion on the level of mistake, nature of mistake, level of handling, similar guidance viewpoint, create the strictness and just between inspectorate groups to ensure objectiveness, just and appropriateness - Tenth, it is necessary to enhance the close guidance by the levels and sectors, timely remove and solve difficulties during the inspection in order to intensify effectiveness and efficiency - Eleventh, it is necessary to evaluate, summarize and withdraw experience, select and reward timely inspection groups and complete archives carefully and fully CONCLUSION OF CHAPTER The inspection over the past time shows that the role of largescaled inspection by the Government Inspectorate is very big Many 17 mistakes were detected all over the country in agencies, organizations and individuals in most steps from planning, guidance, performance, acceptance and final settlement Through the inspection, various levels and sectors have been recommended to correct, amend, supplement and finish many legal documents related to social policies Besides, the inspection helps to recover many occupied and wasted monies and assets for the State budget; handle, punish and refer to the investigators many violating organizations and individuals, ensure legal rights and interests for the organizations, citizens, cleanse the apparatus, contribute to stabilizing domestic politics, ensuring social security and consolidating the public confidence in the Communist Party of Vietnam and the State of Vietnam Although the large-scaled inspection by the Government Inspectorate in the implementation of social policies over the past time has tried it best to achieve many positive results, it still shows some objective and subjective shortcomings and limits from guidance, operation to performance and summarization, experience withdrawal, partly affecting the inspection result and efficiency of social policies Chapter DIRECTION AND SOLUTION TO ACCOMPLISHING THE LARGE-SCALED INSPECTION BY THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTORATE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOCIAL POLICIES 3.1 Direction 3.1.1 Large-scaled inspection contributes to establishing socialist-oriented social guidelines and policies President Ho Chi Minh wrote that: “Correct policy is the origin of victory… When the correct policy is made, its success or failure is attributed to the way of organizing the work, where to choose the staff and place of inspection If these three things are cursory, any correct policy is useless” [18, 920] The objective of social policies is concretized by the 7th Congress Document of the Communist Party of Vietnam: “The 18 objective of social policy is in agreement with the economic development objective, i.e bringing into full play the strength of human factor and doing for the human… Regarding economic development as the basis and requisite to carry out social policies, fulfilling social policies well is the motive for economic development” [8, 279] To accomplish the system of social policies and for the social policies to go into real life effectively, the maintenance of inspection is a necessary tool 3.1.2 Large-scaled inspection is targeted at enhancing the State management in the accomplishment and enhancement of effectiveness and efficiency of social policies Inspection is an indispensable task of the leadership and guidance agencies, one of three to-do works of the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and governments at various levels, an integral part of the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the State of Vietnam Inspection is an important and effective measure that contributes to enhancing the capacity of the State apparatus and the positivism of the State public servants in the compliance with the guidelines and policies by the Communist Party of Vietnam, the State laws and completion of the assigned tasks 3.1.3 Large-scaled inspection is the mechanism that guarantees the implementation of social policies and contributes to preventing bureaucracy and corruption The bureaucracy is the origin of slack and corruption The experience shows that corruption and slack are often present where the bureaucracy is; the heavier the bureaucracy is, the more corruption and slack are: “In order to prevent bureaucracy; in order to know whether the resolutions are carried out or not or carried out properly or not; in order to know who tries his best and who does perfunctorily, there is no other way but to control skillfully Skillful control makes many disadvantages unrevealed Moreover, skillful control will make disadvantages less” [57, 22] 3.2 Solution to accomplishment 19 3.2.1 Accomplishment of administrative institution on inspection 3.2.1.1 Accomplishment of legal policies Legal system must be unified, comprehensive, uniform and clear 3.2.1.2 Renovation of large-scaled inspection Realizing renovation in the following direction: Enhancing activeness; coordinating in inspection; renovating the method of inspection; establishing and accomplishing the large-scaled inspection process… 3.2.1.3 Enhanced coordination and combination between the Government Inspectorate and agencies, organizations upon largescaled inspection 3.2.2 Accomplishment of personnel organization of the large-scaled Inspection Group 3.2.2.1 Accomplishment of personnel organizational structure of the Group 3.2.2.2 Enhanced professional training for the inspectors 3.2.2.3 Application of modern equipment, science and technique in the profession 3.2.2.4 Staff attraction policy 3.2.3 Enhanced coordination by the leaders of the related localities, Ministries and sectors and communication of the laws Through press, television and mass media; organizing workshops and conferences on studying laws… 3.2.4 International cooperation to learn experience Enhancing international cooperation by the programs and projects for enhancing overall capacity for the Inspection sector on accomplishment of sector policies and laws; on source staff training… 3.2.5 Accomplishment of large-scaled inspection process in the implementation of social policies 3.2.5.1 Inspection preparation phase 3.2.5.2 Inspection performance phase 3.2.5.3 Inspection completion phase 3.2.5.4 Handling after inspection 20 (Enclosed by the Diagram of large-scaled inspection by the Government Inspectorate in the implementation of social policies) 3.2.6 Expenditure guarantee Guaranteeing expenditure for establishment of legal documents; training staff; giving allowance to the inspection group and investing in working equipment CONCLUSION OF CHAPTER From the restrictions analyzed in chapter II and directions for accomplishing the inspection, it can be seen that there must be uniform solutions in order to enhance and bring into full play the achievements brought about by the inspection, namely, general policy institution on inspection and specific solutions such as: accomplishment of personnel organization of the inspection group; enhanced coordination between the Ministries, sectors and localities in carrying out the inspection plan and communication of laws; international cooperation to learn experience; expenditure regime and the accomplishment, promulgation of large-scaled inspection process in the implementation of social policies In order to enhance the efficiency of large-scaled inspection by the Government Inspectorate in the implementation of social policies, the thesis has established and proposed an inspection process for the large-scaled inspection by the Government Inspectorate in the implementation of social policies, in order to meet the requirements on professional process of the large-scaled inspection, in this process, there is the integration of steps by the sequence of the process of an administrative inspection in general and separate steps only present in the large-scaled inspection CONCLUSION For many years, the large-scaled inspection by the Government Inspectorate in the implementation of social policies has achieved certain results The large-scaled inspection helps to point out many mistakes, inadequacies and limits in the implementation of 21 social policies, concurrently checking, evaluating and controlling quality, efficiency of implementing social policies in all fields of social life However, the theoretical research and study about actual large-scaled inspection in the implementation of social policies by the Government Inspectorate over the past time have not been done fully Therefore, it is quite necessary and practical to point out theoretical system, analyze the existing condition, point out inadequacies and reasons for limit to work out groups of solutions in order to accomplish the social policies at present Through the research, we can see more clearly the role of large-scaled inspection by the Government Inspectorate in the State management over the implementation of social policies in order to contribute to protecting the legal rights and interests of the organizations, individuals and establishing a justified, democratic, civilized and modern law state./ 22 Diagram 2: Process of large-scaled inspection by the Government
