Poorly, claimed for health check (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

medical

'health check' is the definition.
('medical' can be a synonym of 'health check')

'poorly claimed' is the wordplay.
'poorly' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'claimed' is an anagram of 'MEDICAL'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for medical that I've seen before include "Examination of physical health" , "Relating to doctoring" , "Thorough health check" , "Doctor's test" , "examination carried out by a doctor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
