How the assistants handled this voter's main question
Opening month changes; stage distinction persists; new future dates need verification
Edition 3 replaces Edition 1’s August outpatient-opening assertion with October and distinguishes current outpatient care from future inpatient services. Relative to Edition 2 it removes detailed capacity numbers and adds March 2027 fit-out/early-2031 clinical dates. Those more precise future milestones are not established by the reading; the first-patient date and stage-specific capacity need primary evidence.
The excerpts compare answers to this voter’s main question on 12 October 2026 and 16 October 2026. The figures above include all produced answers for this situation. Each extract opens its dated original answer.
