Advance benefiting hospital room (7)
I believe the answer is:
forward
'advance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'benefiting hospital room' is the wordplay.
'benefiting' becomes 'for' (as in something done 'for' someone's benefit).
'hospital room' becomes 'ward' (I've seen this before).
'for'+'ward'='FORWARD'
(Other definitions for forward that I've seen before include "Pushy - send (on)" , "moving ahead" , "Presumptuous" , "left-winger, maybe" , "going on" .)
