Vaccinations in Ettelbruck, the northern tip and the north-west of the country?

For health professionals living in the north, it is a big waste of time to go all the way to Limpertsberg for their 2nd vaccination against Covid-19. André Bauler, a member of the DP, asked the Minister of Health, among other things, whether these people could not be vaccinated for the second time at the new vaccination centre in Ettelbruck.

“Wärend der éischter Impfphase krute Professioneller aus dem Gesondheetssecteur hir éischt Impfung géint de Covid-19 an der Victor-Hugo-Hal um Lampertsbierg.

Elo ass mir zougedroe ginn, datt och déi zweet Impfung fir dës Leit an der Victor-Hugo-Hal administréiert muss ginn. Fir Awunner aus dem Nordbezierk ass dat mat engem groussen Zäitopwand verbonnen, well se ënner Ëmstänn laang Weeër mussen op sech huelen. 

An deem Kader wollt ech der Madamm Gesondheetsministesch folgend Froe stellen:

Wier d’Madamm Ministesch bereet Ännerunge virzehuelen, esou datt d’Leit aus dem Norden hir zweet Impfung am neien Impfzentrum zu Ettelbréck kéinte kréien?

– Ass et virgesi fir weider Impfzentren an der Nordspëtzt oder am Nordweste vum Land opzemaachen fir de Bierger méi kuerz Deplacementer z’erméiglechen?

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.
