I'm British but not English -I'm from Scotland- and I would probably say first, 'He's gone to the hospital'. I could also say 'He's gone to hospital', but that's not a likely way of speaking for me. It all depends on so many things.
I'm from Norn Ireland and everyone I know generally says "the hospital" eg "I'm going to put you in the hospital" or "Keep talking if you want to wake up in the hospital".

I may be hanging around with a bad crowd.
