Health care service use by people diagnosed with invasive melanoma in Queensland: a benefit incidence analysis

To the Editor: The recently published article by Lindsay and colleagues1 stated that they “found few differences by socio‐economic status or remoteness in health care service use by people with primary diagnoses of invasive melanoma” and drew the conclusion “that access to health care for people with melanoma is fairly equitable in Queensland”. We are concerned that poor conceptualisation of access and equity, lack of reference to other Australian and international literature, and limitations in the study methods may have led to inappropriate conclusions being drawn.
