Doctor set us in NHS basic premises (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
nissen huts
'basic premises' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'doctor set us in nhs' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'set'+'us'+'in'+'nhs'='setusinnhs'
'setusinnhs' anagrammed gives 'NISSEN HUTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for nissen huts that I've seen is " Prefabricated military buildings".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
