District having capital hospital (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parish

'district' is the definition.
(parish is a kind of district)

'capital hospital' is the wordplay.
'capital' becomes 'paris' (Paris is an example**).
'hospital' becomes 'h'.
'paris'+'h'='PARISH'

'having' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for parish that I've seen before include "District within county" , "In Louisiana a county" , "administrative district" , "Area within diocese with own church" , "Ecclesiastical area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
