The state governments of Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia meet for a joint cabinet meeting in Leipzig to discuss technological change, hospital reform and the security situation.

The state governments of Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia are meeting for a joint cabinet meeting in Leipzig on Tuesday. According to the state chancellery in Dresden, they want to discuss issues such as change through technology and hospital reform. Topics such as the current security situation, cross-border cooperation and the discussion about compulsory natural disaster insurance are also present in both federal states.

Both Saxony's Minister President Michael Kretschmer and NRW's Minister President Hendrik Wüst (both CDU) are pushing for compulsory insurance against the consequences of natural disasters following the recent flooding in some parts of the Federal Republic. More than a year ago, the Bundesrat called for the nationwide introduction of compulsory insurance against natural disasters. At the time, the Bundesrat's resolution stated that the federal government feared this would place too high a burden on private households.
