What is the current status of the planned environmental clinic in Esch? It has been in the works for some years and would allow people suffering from environmental diseases such as toxic fumes to be treated locally instead of being transferred abroad, as is the case currently.
After a controversial TV segment on RTL last week, Paulette Lenert wanted to clarify a few points.
She was happy to see a broad consensus on the importance about environmental medicine. It is not only a political, but a personal matter for her, an opinion shared by the new director of the Südspidol in Esch, René Metz.
“I can confirm that it is nothing but rumors that Esch or Dr. Metz are not interested. On the contrary, he has looked into the matter at length and undertaken a number of steps to bring the project forward. And he has my full support in this.”
The government programme has enshrined a number of principles and these are not in question, she said They will implement what they had originally planned.
The pandemic has of course hd an impact on the implementation and is still using up a lot of resources now. Lenert stressed she would much rather be working on the environmental diseases dossier, and confirmed a detailed plan will be presented to the Ministry of Health in mid-May.
Rather than judging anything said into a microphone, she will await for this deadline before making a judgment.
