Government accepted recommendations from pay review bodies higher than budgeted for.

Unions had threatened action if pay awards were not increased, arguing 2.8% was too low.

But Treasury has previously said rises above this will have to be funded through savings.

NHS workers on Agenda for Change contracts offered rises of 3.6% from April .

Awards of 4% have been offered to doctors and dentists, teachers and prison staff.
