Yes. There's around a dozen cabinet posts named so far by the SPD-Green-FDP coalition group. Health Minister? Still nameless.
Ten years ago, it would have been the least known cabinet member of a government. You could have asked a hundred Germans, and probably fewer than 10-percent could readily name the person. Today, I would imagine 90-to-95 percent can name Jens Spahn (current head).
Likely guy to get the new job.....Karl Lauterbach (Doctor). But it's not guaranteed. Why? Well....personality-wise, he's not your typical political type.
Lauterbach is highly educated, and actually does have some better than a 3 x 5 inch index card for a resume.
On debate skills....he's very capable, but he also tends to rub people the wrong way.
Even if he's announced as the Health Minister....I'd go and suggest he'll be lucky to last two years until he says something that gets people riled up. With the betting crowd, he's likely to be on the list as the first person to resign from his position.
Don't get me wrong....he is an extremely bright/clever guy....very capable for the job. It's just that he goes off to talking, and pushes some extreme health views....that probably irritate a fair number of people. If your desire was to find the perfect 'Doctor Doom'.....he fits the position.
