Will the right to abortion be reformed?

The Ministry of Health had announced that a working group will discuss the reform of the right to abortion. DP MP Gusty Graas asked the Minister of Health when this group will start its work, which actors will participate in the work and whether a reform can still be expected in this legislative period?

Question

« Le droit à l’avortement – et donc à l’autodétermination physique – de nombreuses femmes est restreint dans plusieurs pays.

En guise de contre-mouvement, d’autres États veulent étendre ce droit ou l’inscrire dans la constitution.

Le ministère de la Santé a évoqué des discussions en vue d’une révision du droit à l’avortement.

Dans ce contexte, j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Santé :

  • Quand le groupe de travail prévu pour réviser le droit à l’avortement se réunira-t-il ?
  • Quels acteurs feront partie de ce groupe de travail ?
  • Quels points seront discutés et quand les travaux du groupe de travail devraient-ils être terminés ?
  • Madame la Ministre, pense-t-elle qu’une réforme du droit à l’avortement sera mise en œuvre avant la fin de la législature ?
  • Un groupe de travail sur l’établissement de statistiques avait également été annoncé l’année dernière. Ce groupe de travail a-t-il été constitué ? À partir de quand le ministère de la Santé publiera-t-il des statistiques sur les interruptions de grossesse au Luxembourg ?»

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.
