There are 1.7 million NHS Staff on an average salary of £29.5k link

That comes to just over £50 billion per year, and if they got a 5% pay rise (not counting the 3.5% increment that nearly 60% will get), that will cost an extra £2.5 billion year on year - if we include the average 3.5% increment that around 60% will get, we would need to find £3.6 billion.
