04 · What changed

How the main answer changed

The rural-health answer kept broadly similar comparisons of GP costs, staffing, Māori-led services and long-term planning. It distinguished an advocacy group’s requests from whether parties had adopted them.

A request from a health organisation is different from a funded party commitment or a guarantee of a local appointment.

The extracts compare the main Gemini answer on 23 and 26 October. Each opens the original answer from its own date. Other assistants' complete answers are available above.
