Concentrated with caution, getting special treatment (9,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intensive care

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'treatment' is the definition.
(I know that intensive care is a type of medical aid)

'concentrated with caution getting special' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'concentrated' could be 'intensive' (synonyms) and 'intensive' is located in the answer.
'caution' could be 'care' (synonyms) and 'care' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intensive care that I've seen before include "life-saving treatment" , "Emergency treatment" , "Section of hospital" , "Special medical treatment" , "Special treatment of the dangerously ill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
