Commenting on a dedicated Facebook page set up in light of a planning appeal refusal, Deputy Sandra James, pictured, said she had always supported the project since the original application.
'I too am very disappointment the continued planning permission refusal persists. It is extremely unlikely this dilapidated structure will ever become a hotel again.
'The greatest need for nursing/residential beds in the future will be for EMI (elderly mentally infirm)'.
An appeal against a planning refusal for the scheme was rejected last week over concerns that Guernsey would lose a viable hotel.
During the appeal hearing in March, HSSD acting chief officer Malcolm Nutley was called after the panel heard dementia patients were blocking beds because homes for the elderly could not care for them.
At the time he confirmed that two patients in Princess Elizabeth Hospital beds were awaiting permanent spaces.
