Public Health Wales do not hold this data, it is important to note that Public Health Wales is the public health service for Wales and as such is an independent NHS Trust. This is not the same as NHS Wales. 
Birth Characteristics are published via the Office of National Statistics and you can find a link to their webpage here: Birth characteristics in England and Wales - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk). 
For the more recent data or if you require the information broken down by hospital, you would need to contact each health board directly.
