Should the ‘Plan Canicule’ be revised?

Considering the new recommendations from the German Minister of Health to better prepare hospitals and nursing homes for heatwaves, DP MPs André Bauler and Dr Gérard Schockmel have asked the Minister of Health whether the ‘Plan Canicule’ should also be adapted here in Luxembourg.

Question

Den däitsche Gesondheetsminister huet rezent Recommandatioune virgeluecht, fir Klinicken a Fleegeariichtungen besser op Hëtztwelle virzebereeden. Mat zouhuelendem Klimawandel wäert d’Hëtzt lues a lues zu engem bestännege Problem am Summer ginn. Dat verlaangt, datt een sech op dës Erausfuerderung virbereet, fir Patienten an eeler Leit sou gutt wéi méiglech ze schützen.

Virun deem Hannergrond wollte mir der Madamm Gesondheetsministesch follgend Froe stellen: 

  • Wéi gesäit de Moment d’Strategie vum Gesondheetsministère aus, fir d’Leit an de Klinicken an an de Fleegeariichtunge viru steigenden Temperaturen am Summer beschtméiglech ze protegéieren? Wat ass do déi konkret Virgoensweis?
  • Ass den aktuelle „Plan Canicule“ nach „up to date“ oder gëtt dru geduecht fir en an noer Zukunft ze iwwerschaffen?

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.
