US EditionDoctors and teachers to be awarded above-inflation 4% pay rise
- Ministers announced that teachers and doctors in England will receive a 4% pay rise over the next year on Thursday afternoon.
- This pay increase follows the latest public sector pay review, which recommended raises above the inflation rate that jumped to 3.5% in April.
- Other NHS workers will receive a 3.6% rise, while reports suggested ministers initially budgeted for only a 2.8% increase for NHS and teaching staff.
- The independent pay review bodies proposed the increases, which ministers said were above inflation, citing the official inflation rise from 2.6% in March to 3.5% in April.
- The above-inflation pay rises imply additional government spending that may require adjustments in departmental budgets to cover the extra costs.
