Health check is family matter (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blood count

'health check' is the definition.
(a blood count is a medical check)

'family matter' is the wordplay.
'family' becomes 'blood' (I've seen this in another clue).
'matter' becomes 'count' (both can mean to be of significance).
'blood'+'count'='BLOOD COUNT'

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for blood count that I've seen before include "Dracula?" , "Cell number" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
