What is the Minister doing about the long delays in the orders for a PCR test or for isolation?

DP MPs Carole Hartmann and Gusty Graas have asked what the reasons are for the delays in issuing the isolation, quarantine and PCR test orders and what is being done to solve these problems.

Et ass eis zu Ouere komm, dass et aktuell zu gréissere Retarde beim Auststelle vun den Ordonnancë fir den Isolement, fir d’Quarantainen a fir PCR-Tester kënnt.

Et ass net onüblech, dass déi Concernéiert mat méi wéi enger Woch Retard hier Ordonnance kréien, dass si sech an Isolement solle beginn, also zu engem Zäitpunkt wou si eigentlech schonn nees aus dem Isolement eraus komme kéinten. Zum Deel stëmmen dann d’Datumer net mat der Dauer vun der Zäit iwwereneen, wou sech déi Concernéiert an Isolement begi sollten.

D’Helpline vun der Santé ass dobäi oft net accessibel, esou dass déi Concernéiert ouni Informatiounen zeréck bleiwen.

Dëst féiert zu enger grousser Veronsécherung an der Bevëlkerung, besonnesch well déi Concernéiert op d’Ordonnancen ugewisen sinn fir e Recht op de Congé fir familiär Grënn ze kréien oder sech bei hire Patronen ofmellen ze kënnen.

An deem Kader wollte mir der Madamm Gesondheetsministesch folgend Froe stellen:

  • Kann d’Madamm Gesondheetsministesch dës Informatioune bestätegen?
  • Wa jo, säit wéini huet d’Gesondheetsministesch Kenntnis vun dëse Retarde bei der Inspection Sanitaire?
  • Wéi vill Ordonnancë sinn an deene vergaangenen zwou Woche mat Verspéidung, d.h. mat engem Delai vu méi wéi 24 Stonnen no der Deklaratioun vun engem positiven Test un déi concernéiert Persoune verschéckt ginn?
  • Wéi laang sinn aktuell d’Delaien an der Moyenne fir déi jeeweileg Ordonnancen auszestellen ?
  • Wéi vill Ordonnancë mussen, Stand haut, nach erausgeschéckt ginn?
  • Wéi gesinn d’Prozedure fir d’Ausstelle vun den Ordonnancen aus? Ass virgesinn, d’Prozeduren z’acceleréieren ugesiichts vun der aktueller Situatioun?
  • Wa jo, wéi eng Upassunge si geplangt, a wéi séier gedenkt d’Madamm Ministesch dës Situatioun ze revidéieren ?“

More legal certainty before the labour court?

If a staff representative has been suspended due to serious misconduct, an employer can request that the employment relationship be terminated in court, e.g. via a counterclaim. However, DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann were informed that the President of the Labour Court repeatedly rejects these applications. This leads to problems in the enforcement of labour law and to legal and financial difficulties for the employer. The DP MPs therefore wanted to know from the Minister of Labour how he interprets the relevant paragraph in the Labour Code, whether the rejection of the counterclaim by the President of the Labour Court is in accordance with the law and whether more legal certainty should be provided.
