A public institution for blood donations?

DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Gérard Schockmel have put questions to the Minister of Health about the announced public institution for blood donations. The Liberal MPs asked, among other things, whether it would not make more sense to pay all the Red Cross' fees for the blood donation service instead of setting up a public institution? And what will happen to the blood donation room planned for the new Red Cross headquarters in Howald if the Red Cross no longer takes over the blood donation service?

Question

„An der Froestonn vum 13. November an der Chamber huet d’Santésministesch gesot, dass d’Bluttspend an Zukunft soll vun engem Etablissement public iwwerholl ginn. Deemno géing d’Croix-Rouge déi Aufgab ofgeholl kréien.

An deem Kader wollte mir der Madamm Ministesch fir Gesondheet a Sozialversécherung follgend Froe stellen:

  • Ass d’Madamm Minister net och der Meenung, dass d’Bluttspend ee „Core Business“ vum Roude Kräiz ass, an d’Croix-Rouge déi néideg Erfarung a Credibilitéit huet fir dat och weider auszeféieren?
  • D’Croix-Rouge baut den Ament en neie Siège um Houwald. Do ass e groussen Espace virgesi, fir d’Bluttspender nach besser empfänken ze kënnen. Falls d’Croix-Rouge dat net méi sollt maachen, wat soll da mat deem Centre de transfusion sanguine geschéien?
  • Ass d’Madamm Ministesch net och der Meenung, dass d’Regierung éischter misst an d’Richtung goen, all d’Fraisen ze couvréieren, déi bei der Bluttspend ufalen, an domat ze garantéieren, dass d’Croix-Rouge net misst op Spenden zeréckgräife fir dee Service um Bierger?
  • Ass d’Ministesch net och der Meenung, dass vill Bluttspender riskéieren, net méi spenden ze goen, wann net méi d’Croix-Rouge sech dorëms këmmert? Bluttspend ass eng Spend. Mengt d’Ministesch, dass en Etablissement public grad esou vill Leit mobiliséiert kréich?
  • Huet d’Ministesch scho mam Lëtzebuerger Roude Kräiz geschwat, wat ass hier Meenung dozou, dass an Zukunft d’Bluttspend vun engem Etablissement public soll gemaach ginn.“
