  1. *p < 0.01; **p < 0.05 for MANOVA results of differences between reported barriers in each hospital.
  2. NB: Mean scores for individual hospitals were computed following initial reliability analysis on each dataset; mean scores were taken from analysis for the combined data set following missing values analysis (prior to confirmatory factor analysis, results of which are reported in [43].
