Diabetes

Have there been cases of misuse when prescribing Ozempic?

Ozempic may only be prescribed to patients with type 2 diabetes. DP MPs André Bauler and Dr Gérard Schockmel asked the Minister of Health whether checks are carried out to ensure that doctors comply with the rules and whether the Collège médical has already been involved in cases of abuse?

Question

Rezent si mer gewuer ginn, datt d’’Diabetes-Medikament Ozempic kaum nach an den Apdikten disponibel ass. Gleeft een de Produzenten an den Distributeure vun dësem Medikament, dierft d’Situatioun bis Enn vun dësem Joer esou bleiwen.

Konform zu den aktuelle Reegelen, dierf den Ozempic ausschliisslech Diabetes-Patiente verschriwwe ginn, déi vum Typ 2 betraff sinn. Doktere sinn also ugehalen z’iwwerpréiwen, datt Patienten, déi bei si kommen, och effektiv un Diabetes Typ 2 leiden.

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

  • Ginn et Stéchprouwe fir ze kontrolléieren, ob d’Dokteren sech och un déi aktuell Reegelen halen?
  • Ass de Collège médical scho mat Fäll vu Mëssbrauch befaasst ginn? Falls jo, wéi vill Fäll waren dat?“

ITM controls in the gastronomy sector

The ITM sees supporting businesses and prevention as its priorities. In the gastronomy sector, however, the direct application of sanctions following an inspection appears to be the rule rather than the exception. In this context, DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann wanted to know from the Minister of Labour, among other things, how many inspections have been carried out in the gastronomy sector in the last 5 years, how many sanctions have been imposed immediately after an inspection and how many sanctions have been reduced or lifted.
