<strong>Health</strong> and Related Indicators 15<br />

Maps and sub-district tables<br />

The maps and tables shown below represent the most upto-date<br />

available data on the situation in each sub-district.<br />

The district and sub-district boundaries are according to the<br />

new (2006) demarcations. It is noted that not all functions<br />

within the Department of <strong>Health</strong> have been realigned to<br />

the new boundaries, however wherever possible data have<br />

been aggregated according to the new structures. Data<br />

have been obtained from a variety of sources:<br />

➤ Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) – district codes<br />

and names;<br />

<strong>Health</strong> Services – <strong>Health</strong> facilities<br />

Given the current debates about the cost of care in the<br />

private hospital sector, and the possible contribution to<br />

these costs of new technologies, a more detailed listing of<br />

such facilities is needed. The Hospitals Direct database lists<br />

the private hospitals, indicating which provide access to such<br />

facilities as cardiac catheterisation and magnetic resonance<br />

imaging (MRI scans). To what extent technologies such as this<br />

will become subject to the certificate of need process is as<br />

yet unknown.<br />
