More than a million NHS staff in England are to receive a pay rise after health unions have approved the controversial deal from the government.
Staff including ambulance workers, nurses, physios and porters will receive a five per cent pay rise, along with a one-off sum of at least £1,655. The pay deal was signed off at a meeting between the government and 14 health unions representing all NHS staff, apart from doctors and dentists.

The lump sum is worth £1,655 for staff at the bottom of band two, for example porters, cleaners and healthcare assistants.
It then jumps to £2,009 for staff at the top of band five which would include nurses, midwives, physiotherapists.
The sum then rises to £2,162 at the top of band six for paramedics,
