As it stands, the phrase is meaningless. Being taken into hospital is
normally "admission to hospital" -- if that's what you meant.

Also, the following words are spelt as follows:

accommodation

phrase

Hi,
I wouldn't know the answer to that, but I do know you need an
additional 'm', accommodation.

I wonder whether you meant

 accommodation in hospital

or

 admission to hospital

I guess the former.

As Leslie says, it's not apparent what this means -- do you mean
"admitting (or admission) to hospital"?  That would be the usual
phrase when someone enters the hospital for treatment as an in-
patient.

I agree with you and Leslie that that is probably what the OP meant,
but another interpretation is possible. When I was last in hospital my
wife had a fold-up bed in my room. One could call that accommodation in
the hospital.
