Use of rapid tests in hospitals

Although hospitals follow strict hygiene measures, patients can still get infected with Covid-19 in a hospital. DP MPs Carole Hartmann and André Bauler asked the Minister of Health for statistics and how often rapid tests are used in hospitals to protect patients.

« Les hôpitaux sont un lieu de convalescence et suivent des mesures d’hygiène strictes afin que les agents pathogènes ne se propagent pas au sein des structures.

Néanmoins, même aujourd’hui, en période de pandémie, les patients qui se rendent à l’hôpital pour une intervention chirurgicale peuvent y être infectés par le Covid-19.

Dans ce contexte, nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Santé :

– Madame la Ministre dispose-t-elle de statistiques sur le nombre de patients ayant été infectés par le Covid-19 au sein d’un hôpital ? Dans la négative, Madame la Ministre ne pense-t-elle pas utile de collecter ces données ?

– Combien de tests rapides ont été utilisés jusqu’à présent dans les hôpitaux et les structures de soins du pays ? À quel moment les tests rapides sont-ils utilisés dans les hôpitaux et les structures de soins ? Combien de patients et combien de membres du personnel ont été testés jusqu’à présent ?

– Le personnel des hôpitaux et des structures de soins est-il testé quotidiennement avec des tests rapides ? Dans la négative, Madame la Ministre est-elle d’avis que le personnel devrait être soumis à des tests quotidiens pour protéger les patients et les personnes vulnérables ? »

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.
