As we used to say in the world of technical authorship, 'If all else fails, read the instructions'.

DfT contract spec for Lot 1:
"minimum rescue capacity per Aircraft of 8 Casualties/Survivors (2 of which are capable of being stretchered)"

Bristow SAR website, fleet section, Sikorsky S-92, stated capacity:
"21 persons as required – 3 stretchers, 10 seated persons, additional standing persons"
