A two-day hearing has been set for December 12 in London.

Letby, currently locked up at HMP Bronzefield, is able to attend but is not expected to do so.

The neo-natal nurse was suspended from the register in 2020.

She is serving a whole life term for murdering seven babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital from 2015 to 2016.

The 33-year-old also faces a retrial at Manchester crown court in June for one count of attempted murder.

She was cleared of two other attempted murder charges during her first trial.

Letby is appealing her original convictions.

Her original 10-month trial racked up £1million in legal aid.

She has round-the-clock protection at HMP Bronzefield after being moved from Low Newton jail in Co Durham.

There have been calls for a public inquiry into the infant deaths.
