Decoration in a hospital room (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

award

'decoration' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a hospital room' is the wordplay.
'hospital room' becomes 'ward' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'ward'='AWARD'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for award that I've seen before include "Honour, accolade." , "Give, grant" , "Perhaps Tony" , "Grant made by a court of law" , "Decoration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
