Parliamentary questions

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?

Is the state’s financial contribution to blood donation too low?

The Red Cross is once again making a deficit in the organisation of blood donations this year. DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann have asked the Minister of Health whether the state should not increase its financial contribution, whether Luxembourg always has sufficient blood reserves and whether the Red Cross should continue to organise blood donations in the country on its own.
