Ministers face above projected teacher and NHS pay deals - BBC Business

Quick Summary:

Pay review bodies recommend increases for teachers and NHS workers above the 2.8% the government has budgeted for.

Both figures are higher than the 2.8% the government had budgeted for in their proposals to the pay bodies, and are likely to place further strain on public finances.

Public anger over pay, squeezed public services and potential strikes could play a major role in local elections this week - the government's first major test since last year's landslide general election victory.
