The troubled health board returned to special measures in February after a string of failings.
The board had been taken out of special measures in 2020, in a move that was heavily criticised by opposition politicians at the time.
Mr Drakeford said: "The decision, and it is a decision of ministers, to take the board out of special measures was because we were advised that that is what we should do by the auditor general, by Healthcare Inspectorate Wales and by Welsh government officials whose job it is to provide ministers with the advice."
He explained that Audit Wales shared findings and intelligence from its work through the process that informs Welsh government officials, who advise ministers. "Separately, civil servants then advise ministers and the third step in this chain is ministers decide." "The system means that the advice that is given by the civil service is undertaken partly as a result of the discussions that are undertaken by Health Inspectorate Wales and the auditor general.
"Because at the heart of this is a struggling, is a troubling, a failed health board and we need to know why government took various decisions at various points in time to try to resolve the issues."They might think it's semantics, the auditor general doesn't."
