Chap with hospital place (5)
I believe the answer is:
berth
'place' is the definition.
(I know that place can be written as berth)
'chap with hospital' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'bert' ().
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'hospital' becomes 'H' (abbreviation for hospital).
'bert'+'h'='BERTH'
(Other definitions for berth that I've seen before include "Bed for traveller" , "Bed on board" , "Sleeping place on board" , "Bed; mooring" , "Place to lie down on train or ship" .)
