The probe is set to begin in January 2023., while a preliminary hearing took place today before Sheriff Andrew Mackie.

Fiscal Richard Hill today/yesterday told the court: "I am aware there are a couple of outstanding matters that may be required to be clarified and productions to be obtained.

"All parties are focused on the issues and what they are likely to be.

Lawyer Alan Rodgers was at the hearing acting on behalf of Freya's parents Martin and Karen Murphy.

Mark Fitzpatrick, representing the NHS, told the hearing that representation will "perhaps" be sought for two additional clinicians.

Lawyers Grant Watson and Laura Donald were also in attendance for two doctors involved in the case. Sheriff Mackie fixed a further preliminary hearing for November.
