How the assistants handled this voter's main question
Stable main options; regional workforce and waitlist detail added
Edition 3 retains the six-party field and the Edition 2 distinction between Labour’s affordability/doctor-loan approach and National’s workforce/capacity approach. It adds the Waikato medical-school pathway and a dedicated NZ First waitlist fund description. The closing question separates local GP availability, travel and after-hours care; no local funded service guarantee is established.
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.
