How the main answer changed
The rural-health answer expanded from six to seven parties. It added The Opportunity Party's cross-party planning idea and returned to National's Waikato medical-school reference.
The answer distinguished the cost of a GP visit from the availability of a health worker. A lower fee or a training announcement does not guarantee a local appointment.
The extracts compare the main Gemini answer on 19 and 23 October. Each opens the original answer from its own date. Other assistants' complete answers are available above.
