Not that old Dual flush toilet.
After flushing it continues to dribble water into the pan such that the cistern doesn't fill.
A second push of the button generally cures it.
Any ideas how to resolve this please?

Remove flush valve. Inspect. See nothing wrong. Shake it about a bit. Rinse. Reinstall.
It'll now work for a couple more years.
THEN, remove flush valve. Inspect. See nothing wrong. Shake it about a bit. Rinse. Reinstall.
It remains faulty.
Order new valve.
New valve arrives.
Old valve now works perfectly again.
This is how it works for me at least. ;-)

Put spare valve in a secure place that you'll never forget. Wait for old valve to fail again order new valve as you've forgotten about the spare one repeat.
The rubber washer valve thing on my Wirquin valve had a blister on it.
I guess that the desire for simpler installation, without the need for an overflow, must have had something to do with it.
I doubt it. The overflow changes could just as easily been incorporated into traditional syphons. Not saying it doesn't make life easier, but for years overflowing into the pan was forbidden by regulation.

The overflow pipe even got called a "Warning Pipe" and had to be external to cause annoyance to make you fix it.
Modern traditional siphons all have internal overflows.
Which was a great idea.
If it is the dual push button type, i cured a similar fault by dribbling liquid soap into the aperture around the buttons.

Likely to corrode the cables. If the buttons are sticking then that is a different issue.
As well as checking that the rubber diaphragm is in good order, have you checked that the cistern is not leaking directly into the flushing cavity due to the cistern not being well seated and sealed to th ebowl - or even the bolts not being sealed properly?
I wonder if the EU has ever mandated anything that originated in the UK?
