Land in hospital — yuk! (5)

I believe the answer is:

italy

'land' is the definition.
(Italy is an example)

'in hospital yuk' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ITALY' can be found hidden inside 'hospital yuk'.

(Other definitions for italy that I've seen before include "Rome is its capital" , "Land of Tuscany and Umbria" , "Original member of the European Economic Community" , "South European country" , "Country of Bologna, Bari and Brescia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
