Plaid disputes Drakeford's account of who advised north Wales health board to exit special measures.
In the Senedd the day after the board returned to special measures, Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price, said the Welsh government's decision in 2020 was "reckless" and "premature" and suggested it was taken with "an election looming".
He 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.
However he did say that in discussions Audit Wales staff did recognise that "after five years the special measures 'label' itself was increasingly becoming a hindrance to improvement at the health board given its negative effect on crucial areas such as external recruitment, internal engagement, and staff morale".
A Welsh government spokesperson did not address the issue of correcting the record in their response to BBC Wales.
