Bilthoven – In February 2014, the Netherlands was startled by the murder of former minister Els Borst. Borst lived in Bilthoven. She was trained as a doctor, worked for years as a medical director in the Academic Hospital Utrecht (AZU) and became minister at the age of 62. And, as Maarten van Rossem says, “what kind of one! At least one of the most effective ones. In the eight years that she was a minister, she was involved with more than 100 laws”.
