I have a responsibility as a minister to do my utmost, and I'm driven by advice provided by public servants. The decisions made by ministers ultimately are their decisions, and the advice provided by public servants is the best possible advice they can provide and try to provide.

It's easy sometimes to throw groups such as the public service under the bus, but governing isn't easy.
