Yes. At 31 October 1980 there were 17.

Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if hospitals within the area of the North East Thames regional health authority have refused admission to any patient from the four special hospitals since 1974; and, if so, how many, when, and for what reason.
