Not a day patient’s bag? (9,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overnight case

'bag?' is the definition.
(overnight case is a kind of bag)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for overnight case that I've seen before include "One has brief stay in hospital" , "Small item of luggage" , "Item of luggage for short stay" , "It may be packed" , "Bag" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
