A five-year-old girl with a rare syndrome that caused her to vomit repeatedly should have been immediately readmitted to hospital following a tonsil operation when she suffered a bout of sickness, a coroner has said.

The family of Amber Milnes, who had cyclical vomiting syndrome (CVS), have expressed concern that she was not kept in hospital overnight after the procedure because of her condition and say she ought to have been readmitted next morning when she began vomiting.
