For anyone having trouble registering with a GP, you do not have to have a utility bill. That would discriminate against the homeless and travelling populations.
Be nice to the receptionist and explain your situation without getting their backs up, Then if you have no joy speak with your local Health Watch and ask them to help sort it for you. It may take a week or so but in the end you are entitled to be registered with a GP.
You should find your local Health Watch from leaflets in the surgery, the local library of on the internet.
Thanks, useful information. I'm actually more concerned at being able to register the boat we buy as close to that time as we can, so that we can have the documentation required if we choose immediately to leave for a new home base abroad, for argument's sake say to Cherbourg where the annual fees are way less than the south coast but they will almost certainly want to inspect the papers
