Savings made by doctor sent to meet leaders of emergency governance group (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
nest egg
'savings' is the definition.
(nest egg can mean someone's savings)
'doctor sent to meet leaders of emergency governance group' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to meet' says to put letters next to each other.
'leaders of' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'emergency governance group' is 'egg'.
'sent' with letters rearranged gives 'nest'.
'nest'+'egg'='NEST-EGG'
'made by' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for nest egg that I've seen before include "Money laid aside for some future eventuality" , "Fund for a rainy day" , "Fund put by as a reserve" , "Money saved for a rainy day - by bird?" , "Retirement savings" .)
