GMB Union has welcomed increased spending for the public sector in the spending review today [Wednesday].
Rachel Harrison, GMB National Secretary, said:
"The public sector funding announced in today’s spending review looks enormously positive - a new chapter.
“GMB will always welcome extra cash for the NHS, while fresh money for the police, prisons and probation is something we’ve long called for, along with funding for school buildings and mental health provision in education.
“But, as ever, the proof will be in the pudding as to whether this is enough money - and if it ends up in the right places."
