Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Schedule to the Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Act 2023 (c. 20) (“the 2023 Act”) inserted Part 12ZE into the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (c. 4). This created an entitlement to statutory neonatal care pay. The 2023 Act does not apply or extend to Northern Ireland.
