Went back to be given another session at hospital? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retreated

This clue is a double definition.

'went back' is the first definition.
('retreat' can be a synonym of 'go back')

'given another session at hospital?' is the second definition.
(given medical treatment again)

'to be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for retreated that I've seen before include "given extra medical care?" , "pulled back" , "Retired" , "Went back" , "Withdrew from enemy forces" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
