Answer

Corrected reply: I am unable to comment on this as this information is commercially sensitive and is an operational matter for the University of Waikato. For completeness, I note that the New Zealand Graduate School of Medicine is not intended to commence operation until 2028, and the University of Waikato is still working through operational details.
