Land in hospital, you know (5)
I believe the answer is:
italy
'land' is the definition.
(Italy is an example)
'in hospital you know' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ITALY' is hidden in the letters of 'hospital you know'.
(Other definitions for italy that I've seen before include "Original member of the European Economic Community" , "Rome is its capital" , "where Juventus normally play" , "Land for strange laity" , "Problematical (informal)" .)
