Health commissions of all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, all departments, bureaus, directly affiliated and contact units of the National Health Commission, and the China Association for the Aged,

Upon the deliberation and decision by the Party Group of the National Health Commission, the Measures for Health Departments to Address the Prominent Issue of Formalism to Ease the Burden at the Grassroots Level are hereby issued to you. Please be advised to conscientiously implement these Measures in relation to your specific situations, for which purpose the following requirements are put forward.

I. All localities and all units shall make addressing the prominent issue of formalism to ease the burden at the grassroots level an important political task, put it in a prominent position, strive to produce results just as they have done with strictly implementing the spirit of the Eight-Point Frugality Code of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, eliminate the chronic issue of formalism and effectively ease the burden at the grassroots level.

II. All localities and all units shall earnestly fulfill their entity responsibilities, with their chief comrades in charge personally attending to and assuming overall responsibility for the work. The National Health Commission shall duly organize unannounced visits and random spot checks to learn about the actual effects achieved by all localities and all units in easing the burden at the grassroots level. Those localities or units which have undertaken inadequate rectification and produced unclear effects of burden easing and against which there are still pressing concerns at the grassroots level shall be pursued regarding their responsibility and accountability and be given circulated notification and exposure.

III. All localities and all units shall conduct in-depth investigation and research, undertake large-scale screening of the prominent issue of formalism that exists in their localities or units and fields, familiarize themselves with the basic situation, establish problem accounts, thoroughly investigate the detailed causes of the problems, put forward effective measures, check and implement them one by one, and clear up the problem accounts by the end of the year.

IV. We shall closely combine the work of easing the burden at the grassroots level with the work deployments of the "Year of Work Implementation" of the National Health Commission, truly ease the burden at the grassroots level by rectifying the prominent issue of formalism, so that grassroots cadres can spare more time and energy to do practical work and focus on implementation.
