Stole hospital garb idiot sent round (6)
I believe the answer is:
tippet
'stole' is the definition.
(both can refer to a scarf-like item of clothing)
'hospital garb idiot sent round' is the wordplay.
'hospital garb' becomes 'ppe' (abbreviation for personal protective equipment).
'idiot' becomes 'tit'.
'sent round' is an insertion indicator.
'ppe' put into 'tit' is 'TIPPET'.
(Other definitions for tippet that I've seen before include "Gratuity and dear one make an old sort of cape" , "Woman's fur shoulder-wrap" , "Woman's fur shoulder cape" , "Gratuity to a dear one to find a cape" , "Cape for a strange pit pet" .)
