Doctors at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey diagnosed complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after an initial MRI scan missed the tumour, the family said.

In a statement issued through lawyers, Olivia said she was left in "indescribable agony" following the scan in March 2021.

A serious incident report revealed significant failings in the hospital's care of Olivia, the family's lawyer Jeanette Van-Cauter said.

In a statement, the hospital's medical director Dr Timothy Ho said: "We are very sorry for the considerable distress caused by the delay in diagnosing Olivia's cancer and have met with Olivia and her family to share the results of our thorough investigation.

"We are committed to learning from the investigation and improving services and will support Olivia and her family as best we can at this difficult time."
