Has pilot somehow made for Red Cross facility? (8)

I believe the answer is:

hospital

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for red cross facility?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'has pilot somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'has'+'pilot'='haspilot'
'haspilot' is an anagram of 'HOSPITAL'.

'made' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hospital that I've seen before include "Barts, e.g." , "Medical centre" , "Stop hail (anag.)" , "Place of healing" , "medical facility!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
