Cool Medical emergency = PAN?

I am not sure if this should be posted here or in Questions but I am sure someone will move the thread if it is not appropriate.

Someone was telling me that these days, under new rules, if a pax has has a medical emergency in flight, the aircraft has to declare PAN to get an ambulance to attend the airport/aircraft? Is this the case generally, in the UK, and why??? surely a PAN is a declaration of a situation that might lead to an aviation emergency (when a full MAYDAY would be declared)?

If it is the case there is definitely something wrong, IMHO, what does anyone else think?
