Rachel Reeves indicated the government could agree above-inflation pay rises for public sector staff.
But economists warned that agreeing them would cost billions of pounds that is not currently on the balance sheet.
The chancellor promised a full statement on pay board recommendations that teachers and NHS workers should receive 5.5% pay awards.
She also talked up for a review of pensions to make them more flexible.
Under current spending plans, unprotected services, including police, courts and social care, are set for average annual real-terms funding cuts of 2.4% between 2025-26 and 2028-29 .
A way out of the quandary would be to “rethink public service delivery by focusing on prevention rather than acute provision’s.
This would take political will and bravery’ but only apparent alternative was trade-offs over spending and services which would only get worse over time.
