Health care

A wide provision of local General Practitioners are supported by the extensive facilities of:

• Musgrove Park Hospital - now one of the South West's most up to date hospitals due to a continuing redevelopment programme.
• Somerset's Nuffield Hospital - a private well-equipped hospital with en-suite facilities, which has established an extensive range of outpatient services including a sports injury and physiotherapy clinics

Both have excellent reputations and play a vital role in the medical, social and economic welfare of the area. The headquarters of Western Provident Association, one of Britain's largest specialist health insurers are located in one of Taunton's most prestigious office developments.
