But Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng defended the proposal, adding that while the NHS had been "first class", many people in the private sector faced losing their jobs.
The government has made its submission to the NHS Pay Review Body. But the fact that ministers think a 1% pay rise is reasonable has angered health unions.Government sources say that inflation is so low that 1% still represents a real terms increase and that public finances are constrained. Pay Review Bodies are independent, non-departmental public bodies who issue annual reports based on remits set by ministers
No
Have labour never learned from their failures. You need to say what you would do, how you would pay for it and what the cost would be long term. Every time they do this they just say do something different.! labour
Obviously Naga missed the huge debt announced for safeguarding everybody in the country. She isn't the voice of the nation. Most people in the real world are lucky to get a pay rise. I've never recirculation one that matched inflation. Need to pipe down a bit BBC. Political bias!
Don't need it. Im sure the weekly claps have been more than enough reward for NHS staff, helping to get the nation through this crisis.

Yes NHS staff & others have done amazing work but UKLabour still believe in the never ending money tree, theve bankrupted the country before. HMG rely on our taxes for funding & sadly many folks have lost jobs had reduced pay etc in the last year where will the money come from?
What about everyone else Kier such as supermarket workers, delivery drivers etc. Stop jumping on the bandwagon for political gain.
and make it a big one too
Not playing to the gallery then Kier; canvassing for the next election by promising the undeliverable that only the opposition can offer! Who would you take the money from to give more to the nurses then Mr Hood?
Maybe his cabinet could give some of their expenses
Where's his money tree oh just wants votes
NHS Hero’s , this is where the MSN has contributed to ridiculous image of nurses in super hero roles.
The amount of TORY BOTS replying to this is off the scale - they can find funding for propaganda like this but not a pay rise for those that have been a the heart of dealing with this pandemic every day, shameful.
Iam not sorry at all. Still better than the rest . Also are u forgot in how deep 💩we are? BTW next time dont ask me to protect NHS and old selfish people
Heroically making tik toc videos
It should be a given. No thought required.
Great social distance going on there one rule for them have they not heard of zoom
Can’t wait until teachers and rest of them say they’re special too.
yep defo many of them deserve it but how much more would he give thus figures due figures not just words 💭 Can see bojo triple in it by end of next week, who said uturn’s are a bad thing 👀🤔🤷♂️😷
It’s just so unfair
Everyone is ahead of him as usual.
Is he paying for it? Lots of private sector workers have worked bloody hard for the last year and won't receive any pay rise
He can pay it in Wales then. What's stopping you Keith?
They got a great deal in 2018, up to 22% for some nurses. Not saying that they haven't done a good job but they need a reality check of what it's like in the private sector, you would be doing very well to see 22% over 10 years.
There you are, then, saving Boris's life is worth just that - one percent. For the rest?; 12 % is probably too little. Or not enough. You can’t really put a price on vocational workers, especially the NHS's gallant band. Remember, Tories prefer private medicine
You can't just give large wage rises, it doesn't work like that with public funds, it's unsustainable. However, I think there should be a 1 off bonus to all NHS staff that have been affected to say thank you.
Easy to say and be seen as the good guy when not actually responsible for the economy. Typical opposition party with no hope of being elected
Starmer calls for something to grab a headline.
And I call for BBC journalists to grow a pair, do their feckin jobs and tell the govt that this is completely unacceptable!!!
Who the feck is Starmer...
Anyone would be lucky to get any sort of pay rise in the current situation, yes the NHS have done a great job in unpresidented times but as with any job the money has to come from somewhere for pay rises and they are not a given
We’re in debt of several billions, the government to pay wage increases at this time is wrong, no one should be getting any increase until we’re financially better off
Keri gets it
First, like our armed services they do a job, nobody forced them, & unlike millions, they were paid in full throughout this pandemic, and in the coming year will still have a job. Remember Labour introduced the zero hour contract after swamping us with cheap foreign labour.
Should take the money from gps they did nothing
Why?
The rest of us are on 80% furlough or made redundant. Lucky NHS staff. Keep doing your job, the rest of us didn’t have a choice.....
more NHS moaners.... how many times do they want us to say THANKS.... i,m fed up of their VANITY WHINGING
Another leftie with his orchards of money trees...
Heroes my arse
It is absolutely shameful. 1% is an kick in the tooth, these BorisJohnson 10DowningStreet should be ashamed. Its timw to get ride of Mr. Johnson and his government. Its clean he doesn't care about our NHS staff.
Just 1% increase?! I'm so sorry NHS the government has failed you time after time again, you're worth more than 1%!😭😭😭
They absolutely deserve better pay! Sorry to spam but my health is failing and I need assistance to get the surgery my insurance won’t pay for. Please consider donating to help me.
Maybe you should kneel for it then lol

The U.S. Democratic Party is using exactly the same tactics as the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong 'Bad reputation, economic truncation, and physical destruction' to brutally persecute President Trump. Falun Gong was persecuted by the CCP, President Trump was persecuted by the DP
