which I would like to draw attention to (or: see below)
or: which is worth being paid attention to

: I would have said only just slightly differently: 'TO which I would like to draw attention'. Either of these good, but I would NOT use 'which is worth being paid attention to' because it's 1) awkward, and 2) different in meaning from the source.
