Will the underpass at the PN7 be realised as planned?

After more than 10 years, with the tracks being closed at the level of PN7 between Leudelange and Merl, the work for an underpass should start soon. Since this underpass will be closed to car traffic, the DP MPs Gusty Graas and Max Hahn wanted to know if the expenses were still justified.

« Il nous revient qu’après plus de dix ans de fermeture du passage à niveau PN7, les travaux relatifs à sa suppression devraient démarrer prochainement.

Dans ce cadre, il serait désormais prévu d’installer un bollard afin d’éviter une augmentation de la circulation routière dans le quartier résidentiel de Merl, en particulier aux heures de pointe.

De ce fait, le nombre d’usagers potentiels serait limité considérablement, à moins que le projet en question ne s’inscrive dans un concept plus large de promotion de la mobilité douce, créant des liaisons séparées du trafic motorisé vers les localités et pistes cyclables en proximité.

Au vu de ce qui précède, nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre de la Mobilité et des Travaux publics :

  • Quel est le coût prévisionnel global de la suppression du PN7 ? Quel est le montant déjà engagé ?
  • De quelle manière la promotion de la mobilité douce est-elle prise en compte dans le cadre de ce projet ?
  • Est-il notamment prévu de créer une liaison sécurisée pour cyclistes et piétons entre la rue des Celtes et le quartier « Schléiwenhaff » ?
  • Dans la négative, et au vu du nombre d’usagers potentiels alors restreint, Monsieur le Ministre est-il d’avis que les dépenses liées au projet en question seraient justifiées ? »

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.
