Depress a resident being moved around hospital (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dishearten

'depress' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a resident being moved around hospital' is the wordplay.
'being moved' is an anagram indicator.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hospital' becomes 'h'.
'a'+'resident'='aresident'
'aresident' anagrammed gives 'disearten'.
'disearten' placed around 'h' is 'DISHEARTEN'.

(Other definitions for dishearten that I've seen before include "Bring down" , "Cause (someone) to lose confidence" , "cast down" , "dismay?" , "Put a damper on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
