Parental Leave and Parental Pay
Asked by: Baroness Penn (Conservative - Life peer) Tuesday 31st March 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask His Majesty's Government how many parents have (1) taken neonatal care leave, (2) received neonatal care pay, and (3) received both neonatal care leave and pay, since the Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Act 2023 came into force on 6 April 2025. Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury) HMRC does not hold information on (1) the number of parents that have taken Neonatal Care Leave and (3) the number of parents that have received both Neonatal Care Leave and Pay.
HMRC does hold data on Statutory Neonatal Care Pay provided by Real Time Information, HMRC’s database that holds Pay as You Earn information relating to employees. Using data from April-December 2025, an estimated 1,900 individuals were in receipt of Statutory Neonatal Care Pay. This data was extracted from HMRC’s Real-Time Information in January 2026 and is subject to revision or updates.

Asked by: Baroness Penn (Conservative - Life peer) Tuesday 31st March 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask His Majesty's Government what the average length of neonatal care leave has been since 6 April 2025; and whether they will publish a breakdown of the number of parents taking neonatal care leave for each individual week of entitlement. Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury) HMRC does not receive data on exact claim duration.
