Section A: Indicator Comparisons by District<br />
Metro View<br />
It is encouraging to see an increase in utilisation rate in four of the six<br />
metros, with an increase in the metro average of 0.2 visits in <strong>2006</strong>/<strong>07</strong>. It is<br />
especially pleasing to see the increase in all three of the Gauteng metros<br />
(City of Tshwane, City of Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni), as these were<br />
ranked amongst the ten lowest in SA in 2005/06. Of concern is the decline<br />
in the utilisation rates of Nelson Mandela Bay Metro (EC) and City of Cape<br />
Town (WC).<br />

Rural Nodes<br />
Overall, there was a very marginal decline in the average utilisation rate for<br />
the ISRDP nodes in <strong>2006</strong>/<strong>07</strong>. There were, however, individual increases in all<br />
four of the rural nodes in KwaZulu-Natal and two of these districts; Ugu and<br />
Umkhanyakude, at 2.3 and 2.4 visits per person respectively, were higher<br />
than the national average.<br />
