What is the state of groundwater in Luxembourg?

DP MPs André Bauler and Gusty Graas wanted to know how the groundwater levels have evolved in recent months.

« Dans certaines régions de l’Europe, les déficits en eaux pluviales durant cet hiver risquent de conduire à une sécheresse aigue et à des goulets d’étranglement en matière d’approvisionnement en eau potable dès ce printemps.

Au Luxembourg, l’on a dû constater que les eaux pluviales ont été sensiblement déficitaires au cours du mois de février. Ces déficits semblent avoir été compensés, du moins en partie, en mars.

Voilà pourquoi j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de l’Environnement, du Climat et du Développement durable et à Madame la Ministre de l’Intérieur :

  • Comment la nappe phréatique a-t-elle évolué au fil des derniers mois ? Comment les eaux pluviales ont-elles évolué depuis janvier 2022 ?
  • Quel est le coût moyen d’un mètre cube d’eau potable au Luxembourg ? Quelle est la commune qui applique le prix le plus élevé ? Quelle est celle qui applique le prix le moins élevé ?
  • Est-il possible de dresser un tableau comparatif indiquant les différents prix d’eau potable par commune tout en précisant le coût de traitement par mètre cube ? »

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.
