More than a million public sector workers, including teachers, police and junior doctors are to get pay rises of between 5% and 7%
But the British Medical Association said the government had missed an opportunity to make a credible offer to end doctors' strikes
The 6% rise for junior doctors - who today began a five-day walkout in England - "fails tens of thousands of frontline staff", the union said
Four education unions said they were recommending members accept the 6.5% offer for teachers, which would allow them to end strike action
The government says the rises, which apply to workers in England, as well as prison and police officers in Wales, will not be funded by borrowing or tax increases
It said departments will have to find savings to help cover the cost, which the Unite union warned is likely to mean cuts to services
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has told trade unions the offer is "final" and there will be no more talks on pay
