Yesterday it was announced that public sector workers would receive a pay rise.
Doctors, nurses, teachers, police officers and more are now threatening to strike after being given the pay increase which was much less than than the rate of inflation. Ministers announced the pay rises on Tuesday, with NHS staff receiving a rise of at least 4.5%, teachers at least 5% and £1,900 for police officers - The rate of inflation is current 9.1% but expected to rise to 11% later in the year.
Today, Good Morning Britain's health editor, Dr Hilary, appeared on the ITV show to discuss the changes in pay. He said that NHS workers struggling 'isn't right' and the government are 'blackmailing' the workers.
