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 ? »

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.
