The chancellor is due to give his autumn statement on Thursday, with tax rises and spending cuts expected. Public services, including the NHS, are not expected to get any increased funding despite nurses voting this week to strike over pay.
Mr Hunt, who was health secretary when junior doctors went on strike for the first time in 2015, said he was"very conscious" of nurses' concerns and understands they are asking for that above-inflation increase because of the impact of inflation on their pay packet.
The chancellor said his plan will help get the UK out of a recession as quickly and with as little pain as possible as he also promised help for energy bills not just this winter, but next. Mr Hunt, asked if the NHS is on the brink of collapse, admitted doctors and nurses"on the frontline are frankly under unbearable pressure so I do recognise the picture".Sunak's premiership is about to start for real as he faces a huge week at home and abroadAnd he said the NHS can help get the UK out of the current economic difficulties, such as helping the growing number of people out of work due to long-term sickness.
