This work is still in development –they are planning that the new system will be piloted in 2018. But even so, this is achallenging timescale to deliver such significant change and to get this right, MOD needs to consult with personnel and experts across the chain of command to gather ideas and to ensure that the proposal really delivers what people need. They will therefore be consulting you on the detail throughout 2016. Watch out for details as the year progresses.

Letter from the Minster for Defence Personnel and Veterans The letter below is from the Minister for Defence Personnel and Veterans and demonstrates the level of engagement
he has undertaken in person to help resolve some of the most pressing SFA issues, in particular on the failure rate of boilers and central heating systems in SFA. It also demonstrates that your Families Federation has akey role in bringing these kinds of issues to the minister’s attention and getting him to do something about them.
So my message to you is to keep talking to us and sharing your evidence –itreally does get used.
