Strike action threatened after NHS pay increase revealed
Doctors are threatening strike action after receiving above-inflation pay raises of 4 per cent. The union argues the increases are insufficient to address historical pay freezes and rising living costs. Ministers announced the increases after the latest review of the public sector pay. Other NHS workers, such as nurses, midwives, and physiotherapists, will receive a 3.6 per cent pay rise, but some unions are considering rejecting the offer, arguing that it is 'entirely swallowed up by inflation'. Other public sector workers, including armed forces personnel, prison officers, and judges, will also receive pay increases.
