Above-inflation pay lifts but strikes already threatened
Paisley Daily Express
|May 23, 2025
TEACHERS and doctors will get above-inflation pay rises over the next year, ministers have announced after the latest review of public sector pay.
-
Both professions in England will receive a 4 per cent increase, according to statements released by ministers yesterday afternoon, while other NHS workers will get 3.6 per cent.
The increases, which were recommended by independent pay review bodies, are above the rate of inflation, which jumped to 3.5 per cent in April, up from 2.6 per cent in March and the highest since January 2024.
Reports recently suggested ministers had only budgeted for a 2.8 per cent rise for NHS and teaching staff, with suggestions that any further cash would have to come from squeezes in departmental spending.
