How the assistants handled this voter's main question
Keeps the outpatient distinction but removes the explicit inpatient opening date
Both answers distinguish outpatient clinical operation from the still-unfinished inpatient facility. Edition 4 no longer states the earlier March 2027 fit-out or early-2031 patient opening, instead giving December 2030 construction completion and an unspecified later transition. It adds bed/theatre counts that need independent checking before use. The outpatient-opening claim is supported separately; a construction finish is not the same milestone as admitting inpatient patients.
The excerpts compare answers to this voter’s main question on 16 October 2026 and 19 October 2026. The figures above include all produced answers for this situation. Each extract opens its dated original answer.
