When a dangerous level of lead is found in premises inspected pursuant to this section, or otherwise, the director shall cause to have screened all children under six years of age, and such other children as he may find advisable to screen, residing or who have resided within the past twelve months in said premises. The results of such screening shall be reported to the director and the affected child's parent or legal guardian. The director shall inform such other persons or agencies as he deems advisable, subject to the provisions of section one hundred and ninety-one relating to the names of affected individuals.

The director shall provide by regulation for the implementation by local boards of health, code enforcement agencies and housing inspection agencies of the provisions of this section and the periodic reporting to him of the results of all inspections of premises conducted hereunder by said boards and agencies.

The director shall maintain comprehensive records of all inspections conducted pursuant to this section. Such records shall be geographically indexed in order to determine the location of areas of relatively high incidence of dangerous lead levels. Such records shall be public records. A summary of the results of all inspections conducted pursuant to this section shall be released annually, or more frequently if the director so determines, to all interested parties.
