Fair enough, and regular visits and standardisation checks would ensure that the HOO and SM were aware of the running status of the various bases and in a position to require improvements to be made where needed. If a base was clearly not providing the means to keep their part of the operation running properly, then the HOO would (I assume) have the power to require them to smarten up or lose accreditation within the organisational structure, and therefore the right to operate under it.
