In March 2024 we published our report Access to GP appointments in West Somerset which stated our commitment to revisit the work and collect future feedback.


We wanted to understand people's experiences of accessing GP services in Minehead.


This report has been created using the feedback we heard from people in Minehead from September 2024 to February 2025.


Key findings

  • People are experiencing extended wait times for appointments.

  • The feedback indicated that a lack of GP’s registered at the surgery creates barriers in patient-doctor relationships.

  • The reliance on locum GP’s creates gaps in continuity of care.
