Lhe Minister of Public Health Maggie De Block will answer questions from deputies of the House Health Committee on Friday, announced Tuesday evening its president Thierry Warmoes (PTB). The session is scheduled at 1:30 p.m.
The House Health Committee, scheduled to be held Tuesday afternoon, had been canceled. Ministers to answer questions from MPs said Monday evening that they would no longer be available Tuesday afternoon due to the holding of a small ministerial committee (kern), said Warmoes.
“This is completely unacceptable. Our citizens are asking a lot of questions about the management of the health crisis, the situation in nursing homes, screening, the shortage of protective equipment and the measures to be taken. The deputies had introduced 88 questions to have precise answers. They will therefore not have them, ”he lambasted in a press release.
On Twitter, MP PS Eliane Tillieux also regretted this situation. “There is a democratic urgency to finally get answers to our questions about the coronavirus crisis,” she wrote, suggesting that the commission be able to meet on Wednesday.
Finally, the minister responsible for the supply of equipment to fight the coronavirus, Philippe De Backer, confirmed his arrival on Wednesday. “A commission will take place on Wednesday at 2 p.m.”, confirmed Thierry Warmoes.
At the end of the day, the President of the Commission then confirmed that Maggie De Block would answer questions from MEPs on Friday. Sitting on the National Security Council, she cannot be present Wednesday afternoon in the Chamber.
“Wednesday’s commission (with Philippe De Backer) will mainly deal with nursing homes, testing, laboratories, tracing of equipment and masks. The rest of the questions will be asked of Block’s minister on Friday, “said Warmoes.
