edit - it would helpful if you then read RA1022, detailing the responsibilities of an SDH, ODH and DDH to appoint a SQEP Senior Operator to advise them.
in the case of the SDH, the ODH may be the SO, or the function maybe discharged by an individual qualified IAW Table 1 of the RA.

MoD followed the regulations you cite and were found negligent. The accompanying ruling that MoD and DSA/MAA are not independent must surely mean CAS cannot now evade responsibility in RAF matters.
