Asphalting with loose chippings: are there no alternatives?

DP Member of Parliament André Bauler has heard that a considerable amount of vehicles in the vicinity of Koetschette have been damaged after the renewal of a road. He therefore asked the minister in charge whether there were no alternatives to loose chippings on the occasion of a road renewal by the P&Ch in order to prevent any resulting damage.

« Il me revient que suite aux travaux de route sur le CR308 entre Koetschette et Grevels, qui a été goudronné à l’aide de gravillon (« Rollsplitt »), de nombreux dégâts auraient été constatés par les riverains, tels que des fenêtres de voitures et de tracteurs cassées ainsi que des bosses dans bon nombre de véhicules.

Dans ce cadre j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre de la Mobilité et des Travaux publics :

  • L’Administration des ponts et chaussées a-t-elle reçu des réclamations à cet égard ? Dans l’affirmative, combien de réclamations ont été recensées ?
  • Pour quelles raisons le goudronnage à l’aide de gravillon est-il toujours employé ? N’existe-t-il pas d’alternative à cette technique ?
  • Le gravillon est-il utilisé pour tous les chantiers de ce genre ? Quels sont les paramètres déterminant l’usage de gravillon lors de travaux de route ? »

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.

Medical referrals abroad

Since 1 June 2025, doctors have to fill out a new form if they want to send a patient abroad for treatment. The doctor must now indicate whether or not the services can be provided in Luxembourg within an ‘acceptable period’. If the doctor indicates that the services could actually be provided in Luxembourg, the referral request is automatically rejected.
DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health whether the mere reduction to the ‘acceptable period’, without taking into account the quality of care, might not lead to unjustified rejections and whether the new form might not force doctors to provide false information in order to guarantee their patients the best possible care.
