@Paul

I notice I have votes for both #35/38 (minor tweak). I wonder if they are combined, as they are essentially, and meant to be, the same clue? I must say I'm fine with whatever you decide.

First of all thanks to everyone for such a bumper turnout. 17 setters and over 50 entries with many multiples on show!

As a result with 9 votes each we have a 4-way tie for first place;

Geting 5
Fever resulting from hospital bug (4)

Amej 16
Police catastrophe attracts prisoners (4)

Swarb 17
Old prime minister fails to finish preliminary round (4)

and Spike 38
Police sting following tip-off (4)

Thankfully Spike received a vote for his pre-tweaked 35 which is essentially the same clue so he takes the Gold!

Well done Spike your prize4s are as follows;
