Time to have everything including hospital and municipal building (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

town hall

'municipal building' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'time to have everything including hospital' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'to have' becomes 'own' (synonyms).
'everything' becomes 'all' (all things).
'including' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hospital' becomes 'h' (abbreviation for hospital on maps).
'own'+'all'='ownall'
'ownall' going around 'h' is 'ownhall'.
't'+'ownhall'='TOWN HALL'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for town hall that I've seen before include "Building for offices of urban government" , "public building" , "It houses local administrative offices" , "Local headquarters" , "Local government centre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
