NHS staff will get at least a 4.5% pay rise, teachers at least 5% and police officers will receive £1,900 after a public sector pay review - but unions said it was not enough
The government said these are the highest public sector pay rises in nearly 20 years.
Unison said the government had"made a big mistake" and accused the government of having"scant regard for the millions of people languishing on waiting lists for tests and treatment". The British Dental Association said the 4.5% pay rise for dentists is"derisory" as it warned the workforce crisis facing NHS dentistry will be accelerated by this.
