When does the CGDIS – Psychological Support Group intervene?

As part of the CGDIS, the Psychological Support Group steps in when there are accidents, disasters or other incidents. Where have the volunteer teams been deployed recently, how many volunteers are currently committed in the teams and has the Covid crisis aggravated the situation for the teams over the past years? Our MPs Claude Lamberty and Max Hahn have asked the responsible ministry for clarifications.

„D’Unité de Support Psychologique ass am Joer 1997 als Pilotprojet gestart. 2004 krut si eng legal Basis, an de Groupe de Support Psychologique (« GSP ») ass ënnert der Administration des services de secours gegrënnt ginn. Nieft der Betreiung vu Rettungsdéngschter, Affer oder Zeie vun Accidenter, de betraffene Familljen oder concernéierte Persounen, kënnt dës Ekipp och bei grousse Katastrophen an aneren Tëschefäll an den Asaz. Esou zum Beispill 1997 beim Zuchongléck zu Hollerech oder am Joer 2000 bei der Geiselnam an engem Foyer du jour zu Waasserbëlleg. All Persounen déi vun esou Virfäll betraff sinn, gi vum Groupe de Support Psychologique ënnerstëtzt.

An deem Kader wëlle mir der Madamm Inneministesch folgend Froe stellen:

  • Wéi vill Fräiwëlleger sinn den Ament beim Groupe de Support Psychologique engagéiert?
  • Wéi vill Asätz hat de GSP iwwert déi lescht 5 Joer ?
  • Sinn d’Ekippe vum GSP och bei de groussen Iwwerschwemmungen vun 2021 zum Asaz komm?
  • Gi Membere vum GSP agesat fir d’Police an hirer Aarbecht bei de Covid-Manifestatiounen ze ënnerstëtzen?
  • Huet d’Covid Kris d’Demande fir Hëllef duerch de GSP ze kréien verstäerkt?

Gëtt de GSP och vu Privatleit kontaktéiert, oder gëtt de Groupe prinzipiell iwwer d’Servicer vum CGDIS organiséiert?“

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.
