Chief executive Saleem Asaria and non-executive director Graham Rich are trying to shore up confidence in health services provider Cambian (CMBN) following a surprise profit warning in October.

Reasons for this include the surge in the group's capex requirements this year, resulting in development losses, and the impact of staff vacancies which has reduced admission numbers to Cambian’s schools and demand for its children's services.
