Squatter problem in Ettelbruck?

A squatter hotspot appears to have formed in Ettelbruck, which could pose a health risk. DP MPs André Bauler and Gusty Graas have asked the Minister of Health and the Minister of the Interior whether the Sanitary Inspectorate has already been called in, what tools the Inspectorate has at its disposal to act in such cases and whether drug use at Ettelbruck station has increased since January 2024.

Question

„An der Press stoung rezent een Artikel iwwer en sou genannte Squatter-Hotspot ze liesen, deen sech zu Ettelbréck an de leschte Méint forméiert huet, wou ënner anerem och Droge géife konsuméiert ginn. Duerch Exkrementer an Dreck steigt de Risiko vun Infektiounen op dësem Hotspot. Kee Wonner, datt d’Awunner an d’Gemeng sech Suerge maachen an net sou richteg wëssen, wéi dës Situatioun entschäerft ka ginn ?

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

  • Ass d’Inspection sanitaire schonn ageschalt ginn, fir de betraffenen Terrain zu Ettelbréck ze besichen an eventuell Moossnamen z’ergräifen, wann déi ëffentlech Gesondheet a Fro gestallt wier?
  • Wa jo, iwwer wat fir Instrumenter verfüügt d’Inspektioun fir sou Situatiounen ze deblockéieren?
  • Wéi dacks an op wat fir enge Plazen ass d‘Inspektioun an de leschte Jore geruff ginn, fir änlech Hotspotten opzeléisen? 
  • Stëmmt et, datt de Phänomen vum Drogekonsum an de Garer Quartieren zu Esch/Uelzecht an zu Ettelbréck zanter Januar 2024 zougeholl huet?“

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.
