Dear Ministry of Defence,

 

I am currently assisting a Veteran to mount a challenge regarding a Long
Service Award application that in a response received from NZDF Personnel
Archives and Medals (PAM), was denied. 

 

To this end, I request copies of all relevant LSA delegations and
authorizations from 2020 up to and including the most recent. 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

I.D. Martyn

Dear Ministerial Services,

My OIA-2024-2752 refers

 

HQNZDF Chief of Staff Air Commodore AJ Woods responded to the subject OIA
on dated 08 Aug 2024.  The response stated in part,  "Internal delegations
from the Chief of Defence Force are not yet complete and the NZDF operates
under the delegation authorities in place under the 1954 and 1966
Regulations and the 1985 Royal Warrants."

 

The progress of my client's complaint re long service awards, is in part
dependant upon the CDF's internally delegated authority.  I note that 10
months has elapsed since my inquiry and it is my understanding the CDF has
not yet completed/authorised the stated internal delegations?

 

I stand to be corrected however if true, and subject to your response, my
intention will be to take this matter up with the Ombudsman.

 

Yours sincerely,

Ian D. Martyn
