Will a second PET-CT be purchased ?

The former Minister of Health had announced that a second PET-CT could possibly be purchased in order to shorten the waiting time for patients. DP MPs André Bauler and Carole Hartmann have asked the current Minister of Health where the preparations for the purchase of this second PET-CT are at, whether this machine could possibly come to the hospital in Ettelbrück and how the number of treatments in this area has developed over the last 10 years.

Question

„Déi fréier Gesondheetsministesch hat eis 2023 matgedeelt, datt dru geduecht gëtt, fir d’Kapazitéite vum Centre national PET (CN PET) z’erweideren, dëst fir verlängert Waardezäiten ze vermeiden. Et war hirer Opfaassung no wichteg, fir d’Offer u Plagen duerch een zweeten Apparat ze verstäerken. Eng zukünfteg Upassung vun der Annexe vum Spidolsgesetz géif och d’Uschafung vun engem zousätzleche PET-CT virgesinn, sou déi fréier Ministesch. Fir d’Leit aus dem Norde wier et awer vu Virdeel, wann och op Ettelbréck ee PET-CT kéint kommen. Dës mussen nämlech dacks wäit Weeër op sech huelen, verbonne mat engem groussen Zäitopwand. Op Ettelbréck kéinten och Patienten aus dem Zentrum an aus dem Weste vum Land kommen – net ze vergiessen och Biergerinnen a Bierger aus dem Kanton Iechternach.

An deem Kontext wollte mir der Madamm Gesondheetsministesch follgend Froe stellen:

  1. Wou sinn d’Virbereedungsaarbechte fir d’Uschafung vun engem weidere PET-CT momentan drun?
  2. Ass d’Madamm Ministesch gewëllt fir Gespréicher mat der Direktioun vum ChdN opzehuelen, fir datt sou eng Offer och am Norde vum Land verfügbar wier?
  3. Wéi huet sech d’Zuel vun de Behandlungen an deem Beräich zanter 2014 entwéckelt?“

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.

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.
