State Parliament: Debate about the budget emergency

SPD parliamentary group leader Thomas Losse-Müller also spoke out in favor of an investment offensive. A reform of the debt brake is necessary.

Data protection conference in Lübeck
The federal and state data protection officers meet on Wednesday and Thursday in Lübeck. Changes should be made to data protection in research. To date, researchers in each federal state have different rules for handling patient data. This data could be pseudonymized in the future. This means that it is no longer possible to identify which person, for example, an X-ray image comes from. Sensitive patient data continues to be adequately protected, according to Schleswig-Holstein’s data protection officer Marit Hansen. | NDR Schleswig-Holstein November 22nd, 2023 1:00 p.m

Wolf pups in the Segeberger Forest
The pair of wolves living in the Segeberger Forest (Segeberg district) have raised at least five puppies this year. This emerges from wolf monitoring data, as the Environment Ministry announced on Wednesday. The evaluation of camera traps had already shown in July that at least two wolf pups had been born at the beginning of May. A cub was so badly injured in a car accident in October that a hunter had to kill it. The wolf pack in the Segeberger Forest probably currently consists of at least six animals. | NDR Schleswig-Holstein November 22nd, 2023 12:00 p.m
New S4: Deadline for objections ends today

4th Energy Coast Infrastructure Forum in Itzehoe
At the nationwide 4th Energy Coast Infrastructure Forum in Itzehoe (Steinburg district), experts from research, companies and politics want to discuss, among other things, the future of projects with green hydrogen on Wednesday. The hydrogen was actually supposed to be produced at the Heide refinery (Dithmarschen district), among others. Last week, however, investors canceled the million-dollar project. After the end in Heide, it is currently unclear whether and when other large projects will be implemented. An energy expert from the West Coast University of Applied Sciences believes the production of green hydrogen in large quantities is already technically feasible. But the federal government must improve the legal framework to make production worthwhile for companies. | NDR Schleswig-Holstein November 22nd, 2023 10:00 a.m

Heide gets municipal security services
Starting next year, the city of Heide (Dithmarschen district) will be creating four positions for a municipal security service. The background is the disputes between young people at the Südermarkt in the city center. There have been repeated fights and arguments there in the past. The security service should not only increase the feeling of security in the district town, but also, for example, ensure that dogs are kept on a leash and be responsive to citizens. The CDU, SPD and FDP voted for it in the council meeting, while the Left and the Greens voted against it. | NDR Schleswig-Holstein November 22nd, 2023 8:00 a.m
Pleasure boat drivers as ferry captains on the NOK?
The Waterways and Shipping Authority (WSA) is trying something new on the Kiel Canal: Ferries across the canal are repeatedly canceled because there is a lack of staff. The WSA now wants to recruit recreational boat drivers and train them accordingly. However, according to the office, this did not work in the short term. Until now, ferry captains have needed a nautical license, i.e. a driving license for larger ships. | NDR Schleswig-Holstein November 22nd, 2023 8:00 a.m
New investigations into contaminated munitions in the Baltic Sea
Thousands of tons of old ammunition are rotting at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Much of it is in poor condition and releases toxic TNT. Scientists are currently researching how the contaminated sites can be removed from the sea. The detonation of old bombs is also discussed. “When a high-level detonation occurs, there is no chemical escape – that’s what our results show,” says scientist Aaron Beck from the Geomar Institute in Kiel. It could be that a detonation is weak and the TNT then breaks into small pieces – then a lot of it could end up in the environment. “But with these modern demolitions everything should be gone,” said Beck. | NDR Schleswig-Holstein November 22nd, 2023 7:00 a.m

SH calls for emergency aid program for clinics in the Federal Council
With a joint Federal Council initiative, Schleswig-Holstein, Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia and Saxony-Anhalt want to prevent hospitals from going bankrupt in the short term. “Expenses and income diverge – in many cases in a way that threatens the existence of the population,” said Schleswig-Holstein’s Health Minister Kerstin von der Decken (CDU) in Kiel. “Numerous hospitals, including three in Schleswig-Holstein, have already had to file for bankruptcy. Others are at risk.” Specifically, the states are calling for a one-off emergency aid program from the federal government worth five billion euros. Tariff increases should also be financed outside the care budget. The calculation system for hospital remuneration should be reviewed. | NDR Schleswig-Holstein November 21, 2023 6:00 p.m
