Midwives without an invitation for the Covid-19 vaccination

It has come to our attention that some liberal midwives have not yet received an invitation to the Covid-19 vaccination. DP MP Carole Hartmann has asked the Minister of Health whether this problem is known and whether other health professionals are affected.

« La première phase de la campagne de vaccination contre la Covid-19 visait tous les professionnels de santé, qu’ils exercent en libéral ou en milieu hospitalier, les résidents des maisons de retraite et de soins et les personnes en situation de handicap vivant en structure.

Or, il a été porté à ma connaissance que plusieurs sages-femmes libérales n’ont à ce jour pas encore reçu une invitation pour se faire vacciner contre la Covid-19, bien que la deuxième phase de la campagne de vaccination ait déjà commencé.

À ce sujet, j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Santé :

– Madame la Ministre, est-elle au courant de la situation mentionnée ci-dessus ? Dans l’affirmative, pourquoi certaines sages-femmes libérales n’ont pas reçu d’invitation ? Le problème a-t-il pu être résolu ?

– Madame la Ministre, dispose-t-elle d’informations quant à d’autres professionnels de santé qui n’auraient pas reçu une invitation pour la vaccination contre la Covid-19 ? Dans l’affirmative, lesquels ? Est-ce qu’à ce jour, tous les professionnels de santé ont reçu une invitation ? »

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.
