Vaccination center in Ettelbruck

The DP MPs André Bauler and Carole Hartmann were informed that there were no more free appointments at the vaccination center in Ettelbruck for some elderly people from the northern tip of the country who were invited to the Covid-19 vaccination. They were told by phone that they had to make an appointment in Mondorf. The MPs asked the Minister of Health whether these were individual cases and what options older people have in such a case.

„Eis ass aus ganz seriöser Quell gesot ginn, datt eeler Leit, déi geimpft sollte ginn, an déi am Norde wunnen, eng Invitatioun kruten, sech dann och zu Ettelbréck wollten umellen, mee dunn awer um Telefon gesot kruten, si missten op Mondorf fueren, well zu Ettelbréck keng Zäitplage méi fräi wier. 

Dat féiert natierlech zu gréisseren Transportzäiten an zu eventuelle Méikäschte fir déi betraffe Leit, well den Taxi oder den Adapto am Prinzip nëmme bis op Ettelbréck gratis ass. Hei geet et och ëm Leit déi bal 90 Joer al sinn an net sou laang kënnen oder wëllen an engem Taxi ënnerwee sinn. Dovunner ofgesinn ka jo net jiddereen, och net eeler Leit, op den Adapto zeréckgräifen.

An deem Kader wollte mir der Madamm Gesondheetsministesch folgend Froe stellen:

  • Kann d’Madamm Gesondheetsministesch eis soen, ob et sech do ëm Eenzelfäll bzw. ëm een Iertum handelt? Gëtt awer bëssen drop opgepasst, datt Leit am héijen Alter net riskéiere sou wäit mussen ze fueren, zemol wann se aus der Nordspëtzt kommen?
  • Wann d’Leit en neie Rendez-vous kréien, well se aus Altersgrënn oder/an aus Krankheetsgrënn net sou wäit fuere kënnen, riskéieren se dann net onnéideg laang mussen ze waarden?
  • Géife se awer wëlle mam Taxi an den Impfzentrum op Mondorf oder an d’Stad fueren, well se aus verständliche Grënn einfach net méi laang wëlle waarden, kréie se dann trotzdeem déi ganz Faart bezuelt oder mussen se déi aus hirer eegener Täsch bezuelen?“

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.
