Sort of paretic aid related to minor medical care (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paediatric

'related to minor medical care' is the definition.
(as the care of minors, children)

'sort of paretic aid' is the wordplay.
'sort of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'paretic'+'aid'='pareticaid'
'pareticaid' with letters rearranged gives 'PAEDIATRIC'.

(Other definitions for paediatric that I've seen before include "Treating children" , "A patricide (anag.)" , "dealing with children" , "complaints concerning him?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
