Sorry if this offends
If you want 24/7 all weather transfer, the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy and HM Coastguard contract (CHC) crews offer a service that no commercial operation will ever match for availability, response time and weather penetration. The occurence of pedeatric transfer requirements is not sufficient to justify a dedicated machine. Much better to spend about 10% (number plucked out of air) of the cost on supporting the specialist medical staff required to enable these crews (who are allowed to do all sorts of things that ordinary commercial crews are not) to deliver the service sought.
In other words; this is bollocks, apply some common sense.
