Injured MP Helen Haines's condition improved to 'stable'

The independent MP, who lost both of her legs due to injuries suffered in last month's alleged attack, had previously been "serious but stable".

Federal MP Helen Haines is in a stable condition in hospital, more than two weeks after she was critically injured when she was struck by a car outside her electorate office in Victoria's north-east.

Ms Haines was flown to hospital in Melbourne after the alleged attack in Wangaratta on October 19.

As a result of the independent MP's injuries, both of her legs were amputated in hospital.

The Alfred Hospital said in a statement that Ms Haines's condition had now been changed to stable.

She had previously been in a "serious but stable" condition.

The hospital said Ms Haines' family would not be making any statements to the media.
