Care Services NZ Limited.
The sale to Bupa was announced on 31 May 2012 and settled on 29 June 2012.

world leader in the provision of specialised care services, and their
experience and expertise will be of considerable benefit for Abano
Rehabilitation, its clients and staff.
"Abano's strategy is to invest in businesses where there is real scale, an
opportunity to add value and where the business is predominantly funded by
private payment. The proceeds from the sale of Abano Rehabilitation will be
applied to the reduction of debt, and to support our ongoing investment into
dental in New Zealand and Australia, radiology in New Zealand and audiology
in Australia and South East Asia."
