When will the pollen app arrive?

The Ministry of Health had announced that a free app would be offered at the beginning of 2020 that would provide citizens with information about pollen concentrations in the air. After more than three years, this app still does not exist. DP MP Carole Hartmann therefore asked the Minister of Health where the work on this app is at and who has been entrusted with its development?

Question

« Dans sa réponse à la question parlementaire n° 632 en avril 2019, l’ancien Ministre de la Santé avait annoncé qu’une application mobile gratuite serait développée début 2020 afin de faciliter l’accès des personnes allergiques aux informations sur les concentrations de pollens dans l’air.

Il est certain que la pandémie a eu un impact sur le calendrier de développement d’une telle application mobile. Néanmoins, trois ans se sont écoulés depuis le lancement prévu.

Par conséquent, j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Santé :

  • Madame la Ministre, le développement d’une application mobile  est-il toujours en cours ?
  • Dans l’affirmative, quand les personnes allergiques peuvent-elles s’attendre à sa publication ?
  • Qui a été chargé pour développer cette application ? »

Second classroom support staff and A-EBS in cycle 1 of primary education

To ensure more effective pedagogical differentiation from the start of schooling, the coalition agreement foresees the gradual introduction of a second classroom support worker in cycle 1. This second staff member could also play a key role in the rollout of Project Alpha, especially in preparing children for literacy in German or French. Furthermore, assistants for pupils with special educational needs (A-EBS) are set to ease the workload of specialised teachers. Our MPs Gilles Baum and Barbara Agostino have submitted a parliamentary question to the Minister to clarify the implementation timeline and progress of these initiatives.

No access to biological results in the LëtzHBM study?

As part of the LNS study ‘LëtzHBM’, biological and environmental samples are collected to determine the presence of chemical substances in private households. The results of the biological samples, unlike the environmental samples, are not systematically communicated to the participants.
DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health why these results are not communicated and whether this is compatible with data protection regulations.
