    What do the Private Offices of a minister do ? ( If this is not a dumb question ) and why does it need to 8 people to do it.

    Is the civil service not meant to be working for the ministers ?

    I am sure I am missing something, but this seems like a huge expense and I am wondering where the value is.
    The cabinet also decided to cut the maximum permitted number of staff in the private and constituency offices of ministers and junior ministers.
    Ministers will now have a maximum of eight staff in their private offices, and four in their constituency offices – reduced from ten and six respectively.
    Junior ministers will see the same staffing numbers cut from seven and five respectively, to five and three respectively.
