Mr Timothy, 37, reportedly faced enormous amounts of criticism from Tory cabinet ministers along with his colleague Fiona Hill after Mrs May lost the majority in the election.
He accepted his part in the failure of the Conservative party under Theresa May to secure an overall majority in the General Election which resulted in a hung parliament.
In a statement on Conservative Home, Mr Timothy said: “I take responsibility for my part in this election campaign, which was the oversight of our policy programme.
“In particular, I regret the decision not to include in the manifesto a ceiling as well as a floor in our proposal to help meet the increasing cost of social care.
“But I would like to make clear that the bizarre media reports about my own role in the policy’s inclusion are wrong: it had been the subject of many months of work within Whitehall, and it was not my personal pet project.
“I chose not to rebut these reports as they were published, as to have done so would have been a distraction for the campaign.
