Susie producing children (5)

I believe the answer is:

issue

'children' is the definition.
(issue can mean someone's offspring)

'susie producing' is the wordplay.
'producing' indicates an anagram.
'susie' is an anagram of 'ISSUE'.

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Emit" , "Problem - child" , "hot potato?" , "Outcome - discharge" , "Sprogs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
