How the assistants handled this voter's main question
The August-operational claim disappears, but the clinical timetable remains imprecise in Gemini.
5 October: Gemini described the outpatient building as fully operational after August completion.
12 October: Gemini removes that explicit August assertion, describes services as transitioning or operating, then gives late 2026 for opening. Other platforms identify the 12 October clinical start more precisely.
The original specific error is no longer repeated, but the primary Gemini answer is not a complete correction. Health NZ’s 9 October announcement provides a dated, pre-collection reference for the clinical start.
The excerpts compare Gemini’s national answers to this voter’s main question on 5 and 12 October. The figures above include all produced answers for this situation. Each extract opens its dated original answer.
