2024-2025 Welsh Government announces 5%-6% public sector pay raises, including for NHS staff, teachers, and doctors.

The Welsh Government has announced pay rises of 5% to 6% for public sector workers, including NHS staff and teachers, for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The increase follows recommendations from independent pay review bodies and aims to address long-term pay concerns. NHS staff and teachers will receive 5.5%, while doctors and dentists will see a 6% rise, with an extra £1,000 for junior doctors. The increases will be backdated and require trade union approval.
