Bridgwater's best and worst GP surgeries rated by patients

Once again, patients have had their say on the service they are provided by their GPs in the annual assessment carried out by the NHS.

The survey data is collated by asking patients their views on their experiences after questionnaires were sent out to patients at surgeries across the country.

The England-wide survey provides practice level assessment of patient experiences at their doctors.

It asks residents questions on a range of topics including making appointments, access to online services and out-of-hours services.
