The public sector pay cap for workers in Wales should not be scrapped using Welsh Government money, the finance secretary has said.

Mark Drakeford said it was "not a sensible course of action", saying the UK government should pay any increase.

The UK government said its policy of limiting annual increases to 1% was "designed to be fair" but added the Welsh Government was responsible for pay in most devolved public services.

Neil Evans, a nurse at the Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend, with 16 years' experience, says he has to work extra shifts just to make ends meet.
