MP Joop Atsma will become junior minister at the infrastructure and environment ministry. Marlies Veldhuijzen van Zanten-Hyllner has the job of junior minister at the department of health, welfare and sport.
Veldhuijzen van Zanten-Hyllner is a specialist in geriatric medicine. Both new ministers are from the Christian Democrats.
The appointment of Veldhuijzen van Zanten-Hyllner means there are four women in the new government of 12 ministers and eight junior ministers.
