Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has called on the government to give the NHS's "Covid heroes" a bigger pay rise.
It comes as it emerged the government is recommending a 1% increase for NHS staff in England next year.
Health unions have called the suggested rise a "kick in the teeth" for staff who had given "absolutely everything" during the pandemic.
But ministers have defended the proposal at a time when the economy is under "huge pressure".
The pay recommendation was made by the Department of Health in a submission to the independent panel that advises on NHS salaries.
It suggested any award above that would require cuts to services with a "re-prioritisation" of funding.
