The DHB is guided by an advisory committee made up of managers from the Departments of Health at national, provincial and district level, and also includes experts and stakeholders from the academic and research arenas. The committee meets twice a year, once to review the final draft and once to plan the next report.
The principle on which the DHB is based is that there should not be any primary data collection in
order to construct the indicators. The indicators chosen are all based on secondary data that are either
readily available, or on available data that needed manipulation. Averages have been calculated,
i.e. for the metro and ISRDP districts and primary health care expenditure values are calculated from
the data received from Treasury. Where the data are not publicly available, such as with the DHIS and
Treasury data, HST have asked for and received written permission to use the data.
