News items with hospital being scrapped I'd put in (7)
I believe the answer is:
tidings
'news' is the definition.
(I know that news can be written as tidings)
'being scrapped i'd put in' is the wordplay.
'being' becomes 'tings' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'scrapped' indicates anagramming the letters.
'put in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'id' is an anagram of 'di'.
'tings' enclosing 'di' is 'TIDINGS'.
'items with hospital' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tidings that I've seen before include "News (obs.)" , "Information about recent events" , "News, reports" , "News, information" , "News (arch.)" .)
