How soon can flood-affected businesses expect to receive assistance?

Many businesses, hotels, restaurants, cafes and campsites, which have already suffered greatly from the containment, have now suffered enormous damage from the flooding. DP MP Carole Hartmann asked Minister for the Middle Class Lex Delles if these companies can receive advances and when they can expect to receive the requested assistance.

« De nombreux commerces et entreprises du secteur de l’HORECA et des campings (Camprilux) ont subi de grands dommages suite aux inondations du 14 juillet 2021. Maintes commerces, hôtels, restaurants, cafés et campings, qui ont déjà été gravement impactés par les fermetures liées à la lutte contre la pandémie du Covid-19, n’ont plus de réserves financières et nécessitent une aide pour faire face aux dégâts subis.

Le gouvernement y a réagi en débloquant une enveloppe de 50 millions d’euros, destinée, entre autres, à remédier aux dommages causés aux entreprises disposant d’une autorisation d’établissement.

Dans ce contexte j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre des Classes moyennes :

  • Quelles sont les modalités pour demander une aide financière ?
  • Est-il prévu de verser des avances pour faire face au manque de trésorerie des entreprises concernées ?
  • Dans quel délai les entreprises sinistrées peuvent espérer recevoir l’aide demandée ? »

Do rapid diagnostic tests help against antibiotic shortages?

France is considering only allowing antibiotics to be prescribed if a rapid diagnostic test is carried out beforehand. This would make it possible to determine with certainty whether the infection is bacterial or viral.
This could on the one hand counteract the lack of antibiotics and on the other hand reduce antibiotic resistance.
DP MPs Gilles Baum and Gusty Graas asked the Minister of Health how many antibiotics have been prescribed in Luxembourg in the last five years and whether doctors should be made more aware of prescribing diagnostic tests.

Is therapeutic housing being commercialised?

Therapeutic housing is currently offered by approved outpatient psychiatric services to people suffering from mental health problems.
Rumours are now circulating that the Ministry of Health is planning to entrust the management of therapeutic housing to a commercial company.
DP MPs Gusty Graas and Gilles Baum asked the Minister for Health whether these rumours were true and, if so, why this course of action was being pursued rather than supporting the existing players in approved outpatient psychiatry.

The DP MP Gusty Graas asked the responsible ministers whether they are aware of this study, what conclusions they draw from it and whether figures on the use of IPPs in Luxembourg are known.
