    <p>This figure shows the association between successful treatment outcomes and total health systems performance score. The percentage of successful treatment outcomes is plotted on the Y-axis and the health performance score on the X-axis. From the graph it can be seen that Site 1 had the highest treatment success and highest total health system performance score. Sites 2, 3 and 4 can be seen to have lower health system performance scores and lower rates of treatment success. This graph shows there was an association between successful treatment outcomes and total Health System Performance score (r = 0.99) and that this association was significant (p<0.01).</p
