The Buller Declaration is a petition calling upon the New Zealand Government to address the quality of the country's health system and services. It was launched on 28 September 2024 by Malcolm Mulholland, the chairperson of Patient Voice Aotearoa, who subsequently travelled around the South Island to gather signatures. Notable signatories have included the Mayor of Buller and representatives from several medical professional bodies including the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists, the Rural Health Network, and the New Zealand Royal College of General Practitioners. The campaign began with a silent march in the Buller District town of Westport on 28 September to oppose proposed cuts to regional health services. By mid October 2024, the Buller Declaration had attracted about 4,000 signatures following a road tour in other South Island centres including Dunedin, Oamaru, Timaru, Ashburton and Christchurch.
