Claire Rayner was an inspiration - Hughes
Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats Simon Hughes paid tribute today to agony aunt, broadcaster and patient campaigner Claire Rayner, who died yesterday at 79. Simon Hughes said:
"Claire Rayner was a wonderful, no-nonsense, agony aunt to the nation, but also she was much more than that. Claire's campaigning was an inspiration to millions and especially to Liberal Democrats, who were so proud that she was a member of our party.
"Continuous work and campaigning to improve our National Health Service for all our patients will be the best sort of tribute our country can give her."
