You’re still missing the point. There is no doubt that Minerva was (among other things) a goddess of healing. The point however is that you must show us that the springs at Bath were actually dedicated to her in that role. So far you have not done so... (but we live in hope :-)

Meanwhile good night and sweet Minerva dreams.

No you have missed the point ,I have answered your original problem i.e. “...the bath themselves were dedicated to Minerva ,a healing deity .” which is hard to prove at best “.
Both points have been clearly shown to be correct . i..e the baths were dedicated to Suils Minerva and she was a healing deity
However I note how you have now changed the wording of the problem , inserting a "in that role ", Minerva would not be impressed .

This link does mention the dedication and was rejected http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulis
"At Bath, the Roman temple is dedicated to Sulis Minerva, as the primary deity of the temple spa."
