A total of 16 GPs will receive the equivalent of £62,500 each to expand their surgeries and provide more appointments.
The Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) announced on 6 May more than £102m will be shared by about 1,000 practices across the UK.
It has now been confirmed that 16 surgeries in Somerset will share a pot of about £1m – with 15 already developing expansion plans.
A spokesman for the NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board (ICB) said it will hold the money before reimbursing GP practices.
