Senior civil servants, judges and NHS managers will see their pay frozen in 2010 (external website), while the remaining five million public sector will receive "only minimal rises" as the Government seeks to cut costs in order to reduce the budget deficit, according to a report in The Times.
The report says:
Senior ministers are demanding that the pay of judges, top civil servants and NHS managers be frozen within weeks as the cuts package begins to bite. The remaining five million public sector workers can expect only minimal rises, union leaders have been warned privately. They had told the Prime Minister that protecting existing jobs was their chief priority.
It also mentions that Chancellor Alistair Darling is expected to reveal some further details of the Government's planned cost-cutting measures when he delivers the Pre-Budget Report 2009 report next month.
