NHS staff in England have been offered a five per cent pay rise from April as the government and union officials have completed negotiations and come to a final offer.

Further strikes by ambulance staff and other NHS workers have been called off and unions will recommend acceptance of a new pay offer to NHS workers, they have announced.
Staff have also been offered a one-off payment of at least £1,655 to top up the past year's pay award.
