The panel chair Richard Davies said Ms Richards showed "lamentable inattention" during the birth of Noah Tyler and that the insight she had learnt from supervision was "too little, too late".

Although Ms Richards wasn't there for the decision, she had written to the panel to say that she remained committed to nursing, returning to practise and that she expressed remorse.

She has 28 days to appeal the decision.

Megan Boot reports.

A hearing has heard how a midwife failed to respond to a mother's repeated requests for an epidural.

Colleen Tyler's son Noah suffered brain damage during birth and died 10 months later.

Midwife Julie Louise Richards admitted allegations including failing to review Colleen's high blood pressure, but had denied a claim of ineffective communication.

Today the panel decided that she did not communicate effectively with Colleen as she was in the birthing pool.

The hearing as to whether Ms Richards is fit to practice continues.
