  Wales' finance minister Mark Drakeford will today publish details of the Welsh Government budget for 2025-26. The budget covers all areas of Welsh Government spending including health, transport, councils and education and involves around £25bn of spending.

The article from WalesOnline discusses the Welsh Government's announcement of a new pay offer for health workers, aiming to resolve ongoing strikes. The offer includes a 3% one-off payment for the current financial year and a 5% pay rise for the next year, which is above the current inflation rate. This proposal was made in response to the demands from health unions for better pay and conditions. The article also covers reactions from various stakeholders, including union leaders and health workers, with some expressing cautious optimism while others remain skeptical about the offer's adequacy. Additionally, there are updates on the ongoing discussions and the potential impact on future industrial actions. The piece also touches on other related news, such as the situation with junior doctors in England and the broader context of public sector pay disputes.
