A radar on the tracks for more safety at track crossings?

Would radars at track crossings be an idea to be able to avoid accidents like the one that recently happened in Bertrange? In Germany, there are already such devices in various places that warn the train when something is on the tracks. The DP MP Max Hahn has asked the responsible minister about this idea and also wanted to know how the CFL is progressing with the replacement of the railway barriers by subways.

„Rezent ass et zu Bartreng bei engem Passage à niveau zu engem Tëschefall komm, bei deem eng Automobilistin mat hirem Gefier op de Gleisen tëscht den zouene Barrièrë stoung, an den Auto du vum Zuch matgeholl gouf.

Am Ausland, z.B. an Däitschland, ginn et op verschiddene Plaze sougenannt „Gefahrenraum-Freimeldeanlagen“, déi mellen, wann en Objet op de Schinne steet a sou eng Kollisioun solle verhënneren.

An deem Kader wollt ech dem Här Minister fir Mobilitéit an ëffentlech Aarbechten folgend Froe stellen:

  • Zu wéi ville sou Accidenter wéi dee rezenten zu Bartreng ass et an de leschte fënnef Joer zu Lëtzebuerg komm?
  • Ginn et Plazen, wou sou Accidenter besonnesch dacks virkommen?
  • Ass den Här Minister der Meenung, dass et derwäert ass, och zu Lëtzebuerg déi uewe genannte Gleiseradaren op verschiddene Plazen z‘installéieren?
  • Wa jo, wou wier dat? Bis wéini kéint dës Mesure ëmgesat ginn?
  • Wéi vill Passages à niveau sinn an de leschte fënnef Joer wechgeholl ginn? Op wéi enge Plazen ass dat geschitt?
  • Wéi vill Passages à niveau sollen an den nächste Joren nach fortgeholl ginn? Op wéi enge Plaze soll dat geschéien? Bis wéini sollen déi eenzel Projeten ofgeschloss sinn?“

How long are the waiting times at the “Travel Clinic”?

If you are travelling to tropical regions, you can get advice and be vaccinated against various diseases at the CHL’s “Travel Clinic”. However, the waiting times at this clinic are currently said to be quite long.
DP MPs Dr Gérard Schockmel and Gilles Baum have asked the Minister of Health how many patients have been seen at the “Travel Clinic” over the last ten years, how waiting times have developed over this period and whether it would not make sense to make it possible to book appointments online, as is the case with many other CHL services.

Medical referrals abroad

Since 1 June 2025, doctors have to fill out a new form if they want to send a patient abroad for treatment. The doctor must now indicate whether or not the services can be provided in Luxembourg within an ‘acceptable period’. If the doctor indicates that the services could actually be provided in Luxembourg, the referral request is automatically rejected.
DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health whether the mere reduction to the ‘acceptable period’, without taking into account the quality of care, might not lead to unjustified rejections and whether the new form might not force doctors to provide false information in order to guarantee their patients the best possible care.
