A mother who took her daughter to hospital after she collapsed at home says she was sent away with Calpol three times, despite her protestations.

Freya Davies-Redding, five, has a rare brain disorder, similar to cerebral palsy, which means she has epileptic fits and a weak left side.

Freya collapsed into a TV stand at the family home in Barnstaple, Devon on Saturday, September 29.

An EEG scan revealed Freya Davies-Redding was fitting every ten seconds

But when mother Claire went to North Devon District Hospital in Barnstaple she claims a registrar suggested she be taken home and given Calpol.

She then says they went back to the hospital the next two days running but was sent home and told to take Calpol each time.

Freya eventually got the treatment she needs but her mother says the delay means she now fits even more than before.
