The government has received pay rise recommendations for teachers and NHS staff that are higher than their budgeted amounts, with teachers facing a 4% increase and NHS staff a 3% increase. The prime minister has said he will respond to the recommendations "in due course" without committing to additional funding. If recommended awards exceed what departments can afford, ministers may need to make cuts and efficiency savings or reject the recommendations altogether, which could lead to strikes by trade unions.
