Land in the hospital yard (5)
I believe the answer is:
italy
'land' is the definition.
(Italy is an example)
'in the hospital yard' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ITALY' can be found hidden inside 'the hospital yard'.
(Other definitions for italy that I've seen before include "Southern European country" , "Barolo wine from here" , "where Juventus normally play" , "Europe's boot, home to the Mafia" , "Country of southern Europe" .)
