Alan, from West Chinnock: "Which party will do the most for pensions, and do you think that private pensions should be exempt from tax?"

Tessa Munt, Liberal Democrat: "We need to carry on pushing that tax threshold up. To my mind it should be level with the national living wage."

Marcus Fysh, Conservative: "We are committed to the triple lock, we're raising pensioner's incomes, protecting them from tax, raising thresholds."

Rebecca Montacute, Labour: "Pensioners will be properly provided for, we will back the triple lock."

Andrew asks: "How would cutting back on immigration help an already beleaguered NHS?"

Rebecca Montacute, Labour: "We need a long-term plan where we aren't so reliant on immigration from other countries to fulfil basic staffing needs, we should be able to do that with people from the UK."

Tessa Munt, Liberal Democrat: "We need to have a positive view about people coming to this country... let's get a grip and recognise how good these people are because they're helping us."

Marcus Fysh, Conservative: "It's right we need to make sure that if we are going to have immigration that we have proper provision for it. It does have an impact on housing and our schools, these are things that need to be balanced out."

The candidates were then asked about whether they would rejoin the EU:

Martin Dimery, Green: Yes

Marcus Fysh, Conservative: No

Fred Keen, Reform UK: No

Rebecca Montacute, Labour: No

Tessa Munt, Liberal Democrat: Yes but not now.

Marcus Sparrow, from Martock, asks: "What are you going to do to remove the illegal immigrants that are already in this country as soon as possible?"

Fred Keen, Reform UK: "We need to get out of the European Convention of Human Rights. We need to review it and get out."

Rebecca Montacute, Labour: "We will bring in more immigration officials, make sure get through the claims quickly and send people who don't have a legitimate claim back."

Tessa Munt, Liberal Democrat: "We need to have a system where it's legal and safe route to bring your family in, and that people should contribute to the economy. Pay tax and pay national insurance."

Martin Dimery, Green: "We could have asylum centres set up to process people wherever they happen to be. So they're not forced into a situation where they can't claim asylum and end up coming on boats."

Marcus Fysh, Conservative: "Rwanda is essential, and other places off-shore, to process illegal immigration and some asylum applicants. It's impossible to deter the illegal immigration that's occurring."

Martin asked: Will I ever be able to see an NHS dentist ever again in my lifetime?

Marcus Fysh, Conservative: "We have 2.5m more appointments in the system, £200m more this year and golden hello bonuses.

Fred Keen, Reform UK, said dentistry in the country is a "national disgrace". He adds: "We've got to get away from this ideology that private is bad, NHS is good. It's got to be a combination of the two."

Rebecca Montacute, Labour: "Dental appointments will be put into those dentistry deserts, and long-term the dental contract will be reformed."

Tessa Munt, Liberal Democrat: "We need to bring more dentists in training, and bring back maintenance grants."

Martin Dimery, Green: "We need to look again at whole system, you can't extract dentistry from the problem as a separate issue."

Lots of people have used the BBC's Your Voice, Your Vote online form to ask about immigration, like Marcus Sparrow from Martock who wants to know from the parties: What are you going to do to stop illegal immigrants coming to this country and removing the ones who are already here?

Marcus says he feels the current situation is unfair on people like him and his wife who went through a six-year “very expensive” process costing tens of thousands of pounds, to get her settled status as an immigrant from the Philippines.

He says during that process she wasn't entitled to benefits or NHS care, which she has to pay a surcharge for, or any housing support.

Fiona Stevenson from Taunton asks: What are you going to be doing to persuade nurses from leaving the NHS and keep us in health professions?

Marcus Fysh, Conservative: "We support the NHS plan for its workforce, and supporting the NHS with £636,000 more than in 2015/26 per week."

Tessa Munt, Liberal Democrat: "We should increase the number GPs, that you will be able see them in seven days and if it's urgent, you should be able to see them in 24 hours."

Rebecca Montacute, Labour: "We will get down waiting lists, bring in new diagnostic equipment and look into integration of health systems into the community."

Martin Dimery, Green: "Raise more money, we are one of the few parties to say we will raise tax. We will raise a wealth tax, banks, carbon industries."

Fred Keen, Reform UK: "NHS needs total reform. The funding and retention needs reform. We will take NHS frontline staff out of taxation for three years to boost employment."

We've had dozens of people from Somerset get in touch through the BBC's Your Voice, Your Vote and one of the most common themes, unsurprisingly, is the NHS

Fiona Stevenson from Henlade near Taunton, who has been a nurse for 42 years, would like to know what candidates are going to be doing to keep people working in our health professions - ultimately to keep patients safe?

She says: “I'm so concerned about the state of the NHS and feel very sad nurses and medical professionals are leaving the NHS to the detriment of patients safety and care.”

She feels nurses need to be paid properly and not relied upon as willing to accept lower wages just because they are caring people.

She also says the government needs to protect NHS staff from burnout, mental health problems and compassion fatigue.
