05 · What changed

How Gemini’s answer changed

The Dunedin answer separated completing inpatient construction in late 2030 from receiving patients in 2031. Its outpatient account described services as preparing to see patients, although October notices already recorded patients arriving.

We checked the two timelines separately. The inpatient construction dates were supported, but the outpatient answer missed that some patients were already being seen. The figures for beds and surgical facilities were not checked.

The extracts compare Gemini’s nationwide answers from 26 October 2026 and 31 October 2026. Each opens the original answer from the date shown. Other assistants’ complete answers are available above.
