Wrong - care given is wrong (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grievance

'is wrong' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'wrong care given' is the wordplay.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'care'+'given'='caregiven'
'caregiven' with letters rearranged gives 'GRIEVANCE'.

(Other definitions for grievance that I've seen before include "Complaint" , "Bad feeling" , "beef" , "Reason for dissatisfaction" , "Item causing resentment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
