05 · What changed

How Gemini’s answer changed

The Dunedin answer now said the outpatient building was open and treating patients. It described services and patient systems while keeping inpatient and acute care as a later stage.

It combined construction and patient-opening milestones into 2031, leaving out the earlier late-2030 construction date. Recognising that patients had arrived did not establish that every planned outpatient service had already moved.

The extracts compare Gemini’s nationwide answers from 31 October 2026 and 2 November 2026. Each opens the original answer from the date shown. Other assistants’ complete answers are available above.
