Hannover (dpa / lni) - Lower Saxony receives 100 million euros from a federal funding package for the digitization of administration.
The money is to be used primarily in the area of health services, as the Interior Ministry announced on Wednesday in Hanover.
In addition, it is about more uniformity for an optimal exchange of information between the states and the federal government.
The IT service companies of the state and the municipalities are to be significantly involved in the implementation.
The Lower Saxony Association of Towns and Municipalities welcomed the financial aid. "The municipalities have not received any support from the federal government or the state in digitizing administrative services," said spokesman Thorsten Bullerdiek. “The implementation of the Online Access Act alone will cost the municipalities 180 million euros. We urgently need this money in order to offer our citizens digital services by December 31, 2022. "
