The healthcare tycoon who made millions of pounds from the sale of the Priory rehab clinics, Chai Patel, 63, is looking to vend a provider of support services to patients with mental health and learning difficulties for £100 million.
City sources revealed that Court Cavendish, which is controlled by Patel, had asked bankers at NM Rothschild to find a buy for Care Management Group.
Chai Patel, who was born in Uganda but left the country when Ugandan Asians were being expelled by Idi Amin, attained Care Management during the financial crisis and has 120 sites across the UK.
