Rescue helicopter at the North Hospital

DP MPs André Bauler and Gusty Graas have asked the Minister of Health and the Minister of the Interior questions about the rescue helicopters that have been frequently deployed at the North Hospital in recent years. Among other things, they wanted to know how the funding is organised, how often they have been deployed beyond the country's borders and whether there are plans to find a new location for the helicopters in the medium term.

Question

Den Helikopter beim Nordspidol ass an de leschte Joren dacks zum Asaz komm, virun allem am Éislek. Dat konnt etlech Mënscheliewe retten, zemol an enger Regioun mat enger schwiereger Topografie.

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

  • Wéi oft koum den Helikopter beim Ettelbrécker Spidol zanter 2018 zum Asaz? 
  • Wéi vill Flig goungen iwwer eis Landesgrenzen eraus ?
  • Stëmmt et, datt virgesinn ass, fir mëttelfristeg en anere Site fir den Helikopter ze sichen?
  • Wéi ass de Finanzement vum Helikopter konkret organiséiert?“

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.
