NHS Tayside is investigating an alleged data breach into the medical records of a nine-year-old girl at the centre of a murder probe in Arbroath.

Minnie Merriman, from West Yorkshire, died at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee after being found seriously injured at an industrial estate in the town.

A 35-year-old man, who was known to the girl, has appeared in court charged with her murder.

NHS Tayside said it was “investigating the circumstances” of the alleged breach that happened in a clinical area where staff access patient information.

A spokesperson added : “As a matter of governance, any data protection breach would be recorded and investigated by NHS Tayside and, where appropriate, reported to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

“It would not be appropriate for us to comment further on individual staffing matters.”
