it depends on if it has to support people bumping into it or not.
Generally I would cut it a bit biggger, stick a piece of wood back there
and screw through the drywall into the wood on either side of the hole
so that the wood crosses the hole (doesent fill it else you cant hold it
while you are screwing it). Then cut a new piecethe size of the hole
and screw it into the wood. tape, mud, sand, and presto!
not the fastest way to end I admit but it may keep you from passing go a
2nd time.
