What's the wordplay, please, Mikey?
sanatoria/sanitoria means hospitals. I think sanitaria is more of a health resort than a hospital

FF...not sure what you mean ? The clue is as above ::

"Hospitals showing arrogance over adopting a security group"

S?N?T?R?A
Sanatoria - a NATO inside sria(airs - arrogance - reversed)
What you are suggesting is the definition (a hospitals) - but as it's a cryptic I'm trying to see what the wordplay could be using the 'arrogance over a security group'

FF...crossed in the post ! I am tending towards SANITORIA as the other one appears to be American English ( YUCK ! )
Sorry, scorpiojo- crossed posts. You have explained it well.
SANATORIA it is
Question Author
Yes...thanks scorp !
But sanatoria includes NATO - security group
Crossed posts again lol
Sanatoria
arrogance= airs (reversed)
a security group= a nato)
I think we're all agreed!
