A pedestrian and cycling bridge to better connect Cents-Hamm station with Hamm?

A bridge for pedestrians and cyclists between the station Cents-Hamm and Hamm could make public transport more interesting for many people who work or go to school in Hamm, and the route significantly safer. The DP MP Corinne Cahen therefore asked the Minister for Mobility and Public Works Yuriko Backes whether the construction of such a walkway was conceivable.

« Au vu des nombreuses entreprises, administrations et d’un établissement scolaire implantés dans la zone industrielle de Hamm, et dans le but d’encourager le recours à des moyens de transports alternatifs, une connexion optimale aux transports en commun est indispensable.

Or, comme la zone industrielle est séparée de la gare ferroviaire de Cents-Hamm par la N2, route très fréquentée et dangereuse à croiser, en particulier aux heures de pointe, ceci pourrait avoir un effet dissuasif à l’utilisation du train, notamment en ce qui concerne les élèves de l’école susmentionnée.

Ainsi, la construction d’une passerelle pour piétons et cyclistes, d’ailleurs revendiquée par les syndicats des intérêts locaux de Cents et de Hamm, permettrait de relier la zone industrielle à la gare ferroviaire de manière sécurisée et augmenter l’attractivité des transports publics.

Dans ce contexte, j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Mobilité et des Travaux publics :

  • Est-il prévu de construire une telle passerelle afin d’améliorer la sécurité routière et de promouvoir les transports en commun à cet endroit ?
  • Dans l’affirmative, Madame la Ministre peut-elle fournir des détails y relatifs, notamment quant aux coûts, au début et à la durée des travaux estimés ?
  • Y a-t-il déjà eu des contacts entre la Ville de Luxembourg et les services de Madame la Ministre à ce propos ?
  • Dans ce cadre, Madame la Ministre peut-elle préciser la répartition des compétences pour la réalisation du projet en question ?
  • Dans la négative, un tel projet serait-il envisageable ? Quelles seraient les raisons éventuelles pour renoncer à un tel projet ? »

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.
