Commendable way report is prepared defending hospital (12)
I believe the answer is:
praiseworthy
'commendable' is the definition.
(I know that commendable can be written as praiseworthy)
'way report is prepared defending hospital' is the wordplay.
'prepared' is an anagram indicator.
'defending' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are defended).
'hospital' becomes 'H' (abbreviation for hospital on maps).
'way'+'report'+'is'='wayreportis'
'wayreportis' anagrammed gives 'praiseworty'.
'praiseworty' enclosing 'h' is 'PRAISEWORTHY'.
(Other definitions for praiseworthy that I've seen before include "Commendable" , "Laudable" , "Admirable" , "Deserving of approval" .)
