Overview of the Meeting
Through verification, the Economic and Budget Committee found that the content of the Proposal did not clearly show the basis for determining the support level of 3,300 VND/m3. Therefore, the Committee proposed the Provincial People's Committee to direct specialized agencies based on Circular no. 44/2021/TT-BTC and current legal regulations to review and calculate reasonable, correct and sufficient expenses in accordance with the law to determine the product cost for 1m3 of water. After that, there is an explanation on the proposal of the State's price support level accordingly and the specific selling price for the people.
As for the Proposal on the price of SARS-CoV-2 testing services, through verification, the Culture - Social Affairs Committee said that in order to promptly implement the current regulations of the Central Government, the formulation of the Provincial People's Council's Resolution stipulating the price of SARS-CoV-2 testing services that are not within the payment scope of the Health Insurance Fund in Binh Duong province is necessary according to its competence, ensuring publicity and transparency in prices, limiting unreasonable price increases at medical facilities, and supporting better service prices for users. Specifically, the price of SARS-COV-2 rapid test service is not more than 78,000 VND/time and by PCR technique is not more than 501,800 VND/time/test.
At the meeting, the Culture - Social Affairs Committee also agreed on 02 Proposals to develop the Resolution: stipulating expenditure contents and levels for exams and contests in the field of Education and Training in the province; stipulating expenditure contents and levels for training and fostering teachers and administrators of educational institutions to implement new curriculum, new textbooks of general education in Binh Duong province.
