The responsibility for granting a client's request to review his or her records is the responsibility of the recipient rights director.

Explanation:
The ability to review a client’s records is a rights protected task, but the person who grants access is typically the records custodian or privacy officer, not the recipient rights director. The recipient rights director oversees ensuring that clients’ rights are respected, handles rights-related questions and complaints, and ensures staff follow policies. They may coordinate the process and ensure timely and proper handling, but the actual granting of access—verifying identity, applying any necessary exemptions, and providing the records—usually falls to the records department or privacy officer in line with legal requirements. So the statement is not correct because the direct responsibility for granting access lies with the designated records custodian, not the recipient rights director.
