Will youth protection staff be strengthened?

We are increasingly hearing about cases of abuse and mistreatment of children and young people. As Luxembourg is certainly not an isolated country and the figures tend to increase, our MPs André Bauler and Carole Hartmann asked some questions to the ministers in charge.

„De Moment si landeswäit 32 Beamten an der Police fir de Jugendschutz zoustänneg. Den Zerwiss vum Jugendschutz ass folgendermoossen opgestallt: Regioun Norden (Dikrech): 2 Beamten; Regioun Osten (Gréiwemaacher): 3 Beamten; Regioun Süden (Esch): 5 Beamten; Regioun Zentrum (Stad): 7 Beamten.

Dës 17 Beamten decken de Volet „Mësshandlung vu Kanner“, „Placementer vu Kanner“ an de ganze Spektrum vun der „Délinquance juvénile“ of (also all Strofdoten, déi vu Mannerjärege begaange ginn). Des weideren enregistréieren dës Beamten all Vergewaltegung vun erwuessene Leit (ausser de Viol a punkto Prostitutioun).

Am meeschte gëtt dësen Zerwiss vum Jugendgeriicht befaasst, dat opgrond vu Signalementer, déi vu Schoulen, Crèchen a Maison-Relaise gemaach goufen.

Déi zoustänneg Beamte garantéieren och wöchentlich eng national Permanence, déi vun zwee Beamten assuréiert gëtt, dëst iwwert dat ganzt Joer verdeelt.

Ausserdeem gëtt et eng spezifesch Sektioun vum Jugendschutz (ëm déi 15 Leit) an der Stad, déi sech just ëm Sexual-Strofdote këmmert, déi vu Mannerjärege begaange goufen oder déi Mannerjäreger um eegene Läif erlidden hunn. Dat geet vun „Attentat à la pudeur“ bis hin zu „Cyber-Grooming“, also dem Verschécke vu Plakeg-Fotoen duerch Erpressung. Och d‘Internet-Pédo-Pornographie fält an hire Beräich. Ee vun dëse Beamte garantéiert och wöchentlech eng national Permanence, déi iwwert dat ganzt Joer leeft.

Lëtzebuerg ass keng Insel an d’Zuel vun de Mëssbrauch-Dossiere souwéi d‘Affairen am Beräich vun der Maltraitance vu Kanner hunn éischter d’Tendenz zouzehuelen.

An deem Kader wollte mir dem Här Minister fir bannenzeg Sécherheet an der Madamm Justizministesch folgend Froe stellen:

  • Wéi huet sech d’Zuel vun de Beamten, déi de Moment am Departement vun der „police judiciaire section protection de la jeunesse et infractions à caractère sexuel“ schaffen, zanter 2015 entwéckelt?
  • Wéi vill Dossiere gi pro Joer vun dësem Zerwiss behandelt a wéi vill sinn der aktuell nach net ofgeschloss bzw. net ugefaangen?
  • Huet den Här Policeminister wëlles fir d’Personal an dësem spezifesche Beräich opzestocken? Wa jo, wat géif dat konkret bedeiten, vu, datt deen een oder anere Büro iwwerlaascht schéngt ze sinn?
  • Wéi kann een d’Zesummenaarbecht mat der Justiz vereinfachen?“

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.
