Allowing for Inflation

[Swan]

Dear members,

After the question Anglophile raised, I am not if it is right to write

Dear Members or Dear members ;-) Although I think the second one is correct.
Anyway, I was reading an article about congenital defects and faced with the sentence I pasted below and again there I found something I cannot understand, and again as usual I would be greatful if you could let me know what the red part mean.

Every year governments spend more and more on health, even after allowing for inflation.

Thanks in advanced,
Swan

Thank you for watching the discussion about my question, Swan.

What I would suggest is use 'Dear Members' if they are members of a legislature or a very important/elite organization.

'To allow for' means 'to consider' or 'to take into account'.
