Speak evasively about private care (11)
I believe the answer is:
prevaricate
'speak evasively' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'about private care' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'private'+'care'='privatecare'
'privatecare' with letters rearranged gives 'PREVARICATE'.
(Other definitions for prevaricate that I've seen before include "Quibble, equivocate" , "Dodge" , "Speak, act evasively" , "Behave evasively" , "Beat about the bush" .)
