Tables 1 to 3 (published on 19 December 2017)
Contain the 'provisional' figures for 2017 which were used to produce the publication, which explains (on page 4 and in Note 2 of page 10) that the figures are based on data for births that were registered in the first eleven months (or so) of the year. These tables have not been updated since then.
