The main reasons for delay in file disposal are processing of files at five levels and accountability. Recommendations for speedy disposal include single file system in selected departments, processing of files only at three levels, in-service training for all secretariat staff once in five years. The core committee also recommended rules to be followed to reduce the number of files sent to the CMO.
