Prize for a hospital room (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

award

'prize' is the definition.
(I know that prize can be written as award)

'a hospital room' is the wordplay.
'hospital room' becomes 'ward' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'ward'='AWARD'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for award that I've seen before include "Maybe damages" , "Gong (informal)" , "Honour, accolade." , "Give, grant" , "Allotment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
