A mother who went to the pub instead of seeking medical help for her 13-year-old daughter before she died is set to take part in a probe into the teenager's death.
Robyn Goldie developed peritonitis and died in July 2018 having suffered a perforated duodenal ulcer after Sharon Goldie, 45, failed to seek medical treatment for her.
The High Court in Glasgow was told that in the week before she died, the teenager tried to get treatment but Goldie stopped her from doing so.
Goldie later admitted wilful ill treatment and neglect of her daughter between July 2017 and July 2018 - and was jailed for three and half years in October 2020.
A fatal accident inquiry was ordered into the circumstances of her death earlier this year by Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC.
A preliminary hearing at Hamilton Sheriff Court heard Goldie will take part in the inquiry, but she did not personally attend court today.

Depute fiscal Aimee Doran said: 'The deceased child's mother Sharon Goldie is now represented.
'I understand her lawyers were only instructed last Friday and they have now submitted an application to the legal aid board for sanction to request counsel for any inquiry.'
Goldie's lawyer Emma-Louise Loran told the court she appeared at the hearing in 'special urgency' after only being instructed last week.
The court also heard from lawyers who represent North Lanarkshire Council and social workers who were involved with Robyn before she died.
Scott Blair, advocate for the council, said: 'The local authority is intending to tease out what the medical authorities may have known and what may have been done in this case.'
NHS Lanarkshire, Police Scotland and the Scottish Children's Reporter Administration have all been written to and asked if they want to take part in the inquiry.
Sheriff Linda Nicolson ordered another preliminary hearing for November.
The High Court in Glasgow previously heard Robyn had developed peritonitis and then suffered a perforated duodenal ulcer.
Goldie admitted failing to provide her with adequate food, clothing or heating, hitting her, and permitting her to smoke cannabis and drink alcohol.
She also pled guilty to exposing her to unhygienic living conditions including cat urine and cat faeces which led to her getting fleas.
Prosecutors accepted her not guilty plea to a charge of culpable homicide.
The court heard Goldie had claimed Robyn was 'attention seeking' despite being in agony and begging for help.
After jailing Goldie, Judge Lord Beckett said: 'Even if your daughter could sometimes be challenging and difficult, she was subjected to a terrible ordeal of neglect and ill treatment by you over a long period.
'You had enough money to provide food for your daughter but chose not to and purchased alcohol and cannabis, you gave this to your daughter instead of adequate nutrition.'
