ABSTRACT

When public health emergencies occur, in order to quickly form a comprehensive and close prevention and control network, the community becomes a key link at the grassroots level. Community neighbourhood committee, as a grassroots self-governing organization, has dual attributes, and the formation of a good connection with the grassroots government focuses on the administrative attributes of the neighbourhood committee. The behaviour of the neighbourhood committee to perform administrative tasks at the request of administrative organs should be regarded as administrative assistance. In the past, neighbourhood committees played an important role in responding to public health emergencies, but some problems in the process of administrative assistance were also exposed, such as squeezing the exercise space of autonomous functions, implementing measures in violation of administrative principles and regulations, unclear relationship between administrative assistance and compulsory health isolation measures, inefficient exercise process and lack of supervision, and failure to get timely relief of damage consequences. These restrict the improvement of the efficiency of administrative assistance of the neighbourhood committee. To optimize the administrative assistance function of the neighbourhood committee in public health emergencies, we should respect the dual properties of the autonomy and administration of the neighbourhood committee, explore the role of the autonomous function in the administrative assistance, clarify the degree of assistance of the neighbourhood committee, standardize the process of administrative assistance, promote cooperation between the two parties, strengthen supervision to prevent dereliction of duty, and timely remedy illegal situations.
