Seven BBC journalists in Scotland have been warned that their health records may have been misused by a doctor.

The journalists received letters from NHS Fife telling them that their personal health records may have been inappropriately accessed by a clinician in the county, the BBC reported.

The corporation said newsreader Jackie Bird, TV presenter Catriona Shearer, TV and radio presenter Abeer MacIntyre, weather presenter Judith Tonner, home affairs correspondent Reevel Alderson, environment correspondent Louise Batchelor and reporter Elizabeth Quigley had each received a letter from NHS Fife.
