Current implementation for excluding specific hospital admissions data points loops through locations and checks for exclusions. We should instead use anti_join because we are passing a table of exclusions.
Requirements
[ ] get rid of the for loop and replace with anti-join for handling table of exclusions in eval pipeline

Given that you have a table of exclusions, I'd suggest writing this function so that it can work on multiple locations at once (though you can still always go one location at a time if you prefer. An anti_join on location and date should work:
