I think neonate was used for new born where gender wasn't yet recorded or maybe waiting to tell parents first. Maybe other medical reasons - a quick look between legs not diagnostic??
The coding was more to do with stats so anonymised data could be generated for the NHS than exact medical data.
The codes for race also had values for unknown and not given as well as lots of other coded values. There was a whole shelf of folders with what data was needed for what entities and how entities relate and what coded values where present and valid values for them. Great "fun" - we followed the manuals so when we sent data in it was already pretty much as the NHS required.
