He has been vocal about the challenges faced by health workers, particularly regarding safety concerns related to parking at hospitals. Dietschin recently highlighted the risks associated with hospital staff having to walk long distances to their vehicles, especially during late shifts, following incidents of violence against healthcare workers. His advocacy emphasizes the need for safe and accessible parking solutions for frontline workers, and he criticized Health NZ's initial proposal to charge market rates for hospital parking, which he argued would exacerbate financial and safety issues for staff.
